Overview
The API connector is a flexible, generic integration type that lets Go Autonomous communicate with any external system that exposes a REST API. Use it when there isn’t a dedicated connector for your system (like there is for Salesforce or SAP).Set up an API connector

- Base URL — the root URL of the external API.
- Authentication — select an existing authenticator or configure credentials directly (API key, OAuth, or basic auth).
- Headers — any custom HTTP headers the API requires.

When to use the API connector
The API connector is best when:- Your system isn’t covered by a dedicated connector (Salesforce, Microsoft, SAP C4C, etc.).
- You need a lightweight integration that sends or receives data via REST endpoints.
- You want to connect to an internal or custom-built system.
