Connector configuration details

The following sections provide information about properties that are used to define Data Factory and Synapse pipeline entities specific to data.world.

Linked service properties

The following properties are supported for the data.world linked service:

Property Description Required
type The type property must be set to Dataworld. Yes
apiToken Specify an API token for the data.world. Mark this field as SecureString to store it securely. Or, you can reference a secret stored in Azure Key Vault. Yes

Example:

{
    "name": "DataworldLinkedService",
    "properties": {
        "type": "Dataworld",
        "typeProperties": {
            "apiToken": {
                "type": "SecureString",
                "value": "<API token>"
            }
        }
    }
}

Mapping data flow properties

When transforming data in mapping data flow, you can read tables from data.world. For more information, see the source transformation in mapping data flows. You can only use an inline dataset as source type.

Source transformation

The below table lists the properties supported by data.world source. You can edit these properties in the Source options tab.

Name Description Required Allowed values Data flow script property
Dataset name The ID of the dataset in data.world. Yes String datasetId
Table name The ID of the table within the dataset in data.world. No (if query is specified) String tableId
Query Enter a SQL query to fetch data from data.world. An example is select * from MyTable. No (if tableId is specified) String query
Owner The owner of the dataset in data.world. Yes String owner

data.world source script example

When you use data.world as source type, the associated data flow script is:

source(allowSchemaDrift: true,
	validateSchema: false,
	store: 'dataworld',
	format: 'rest',
	owner: 'owner1',
	datasetId: 'dataset1',
	tableId: 'MyTable') ~> DataworldSource
