A link holds the jobs to read or write your data. Links are created in the Deck Dashboard.
1

Create a link in the dashboard

Click the + next to Links in the left navigation of the dashboard. You can build with templated links already connected to verified sources, or use “Link Builder” to connect to a custom source.

Create your Jobs

While building your link, Deck will identify the jobs most relevant to the data you’re looking to fetch. These jobs match a custom input and output schema to your use case. In sandbox, this will also create mock schema with both inputs and outputs that map to your identified data.

​
Sources and source IDs

Once you’ve created your link, you need to identify the sources you want to connect to. Sources in Deck have a source_guid. You will use this source_guid to open a connection to the source and pass your user’s credentials to authenticate.

​
Getting a source ID from the Dashboard

You can find the source ID in your link configuration.

​
Getting a source ID from the API

You can use the search sources API endpoint to find a source_guid.

​
Example source IDs

To move faster while testing the API, you can use IDs from common sources available in Deck:
