What to do next?

  • You can try adjusting your search term parameter, back in the Request Parameters Command section, then re-save and re-test your Action to see what other Wikipedia data you can ingest into IPaaS. You can try building integrations to some other Wikipedia API’s: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:REST_API (Wikipedia API’s are easy to use because they are publicly accessible and require no authentication)

  • You can try applying various rules and transformations to your ingested data. Please refer to: emite IPaaS Rules and emite IPaaS User InterfaceTransformations

  • You can try saving the retrieved data in a connected data store (ElasticSearch, OpenSearch) in order to then visualize within emite. If you do not have a connected data store, please reach out to your emite account team to enable emite IPaaS for your organization.

  • You can try building integrations to other Wikipedia API’s: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:REST_API (Wikipedia API’s are easy to use because they are publicly accessible and require no authentication)

  • You can try referencing a secondary Action from this primary Action. Please refer to: emite IPaaS Referenced Actions

  • You can try publishing a schedule to have your integration constantly retrieve new and updated recordsdata: emite IPaaS User Interface
