Connect to data from the Integration Gallery
The Integration Gallery is a convenient place to discover, connect, and manage data.world integrations with external services. These integrations extend and enhance how you work with data, allowing you to build a more flexible and connected data ecosystem.
In the Integration Gallery, you can find the following types of integrations:
Collect metadata from your data sources using Metadata Collectors.
Load, virtualize, and query your data using Database connectors and Data sources.
Visualize and explore your data through Visualization tools and your own SDKs.
What integration should I choose?
The integration you choose depends on your goals. Use the following table to understand the differences.
Integration type | Purpose | Integration Gallery page | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|
Metadata collectors | Catalog metadata from your systems to enrich your catalog and enable discovery. | ||
Data sources and database connectors | Bring data into data.world for querying, analysis, or virtualization. | Setting up connections for data extraction and virtualization | |
Analysis SDKs & Connectors | Analyze, visualize, or work with your data using external tools or SDKs. |
How is the Integration Gallery different from the Connection Manager?
Both Integration Gallery and Connection Manager help you connect your data within data.world — but they serve different purposes.
Integration Gallery is a place where all possible integrations with data.world are conveniently collected. Everything is in one place — find, configure, manage, remove connections, and read relevant documentation. The Integration Gallery supports both personal and organization-owned connections.
Use the Integration Gallery when you want to:
Discover all available integration options.
Manage connections across both personal and organizational scopes.
Explore tools for ingestion, querying, analysis, and visualization.
Connection Manager exists solely for data extraction and virtualization purposes and works only at the organization level. You cannot create connections for a personal account with Connection Manager.
Use Connection Manager when you want to:
Set up live connections for data extraction or virtualization.
Manage these connections strictly within your organization.
