Onboarding Data from Facebook

Creating a Facebook Source

For creating a Facebook source, see Configuring Additional Connectors. Ensure that the Source Type selected is Facebook.

You can connect to the CDATA driver without setting any connection properties for your user credentials.

Set the following embedded OAuth parameters:

OAuth Parameter	Description
AuthenticateAsPage	You can set this parameter to the name or Id of a page you manage to make requests as a page.
OAuthSettingsLocation	Saves the authentication values to be persisted across connections. The user must register an `init` script on the jobs cluster to propagate the `OAuthSettingsLocation` file across all the worker nodes.

Set the following parameters to authenticate with the credentials for a Custom OAuth app:

Field	Description
OAuthClientId	Set this to the client Id assigned when you registered your app.
OAuthClientSecret	Set this to the client secret assigned when you registered your app.
CallbackURL	Set this to the redirect URI defined when you registered your app.
Permissions (optional)	Set this if you need to customize the permissions that the driver requests.
AuthenticateAsPage (optional)	Set this to a page name or Id to make requests as a page. The page must be managed by the authenticated user.

Field	Description
Fetch Data Using	The mechanism through which Infoworks fetches data from the database.
Connection URL	The connection URL through which Infoworks connects to the database.
Username	The username for the connection to the database.
Password	The password for the username provided.
Source Schema	The schema in the database to be crawled. The schema value is case sensitive.

Once the settings are saved, you can test the connection.

For configuring a Facebook Table, see Configuring a Table.

To create a JDBC URL, see Establishing a Connection.

The tables and views supported by the source are described in the Data Model.
