Introduction

A connector (also known as konnector) is a script that imports data from another web service and put those data into your cozy. Each connector is an independent application, managed by the Cozy Home application.

To protect your data, each connector runs inside a container in order to sandbox all their interactions with your data.

⚠️ For historical reasons, in the Cozy codebase, a cozy connector is named konnector, please follow this convention if modifying an existing application.

In this tutorial you will learn how to:

• Create the basic structure for your connector
• Scrape data from the service
• Save data to your Cozy
• Package your connector and send it to the store

If you want to go further:

• Learn how konnectors are run by the Cozy stack
• Add Two Factor Authentication to your connector
• Developing an OAuth connector
• Use a browser simulation to request the website
• ENV vars injected by the cozy-stack when running a konnector
