Connector
REST API → Databricks
Files land in object storage; Auto Loader ingests them into Delta. The connector is the same; the loading pattern follows what Databricks does well.
What it costs
Two kinds of line. The connector is the technical connection to this source, charged once. The data models are the datasets you actually asked for, priced by type.

Data models customers ask for on this kind of source
Three Simple ones come with the Base Connector. These are what tends to get added.
| Data model | Typical type | API resources it usually needs |
|---|---|---|
| Employees | Standard | /employees, /departments |
| Events | Advanced | /events, /event-types |
| Customers | Standard | /customers |
Illustrative, not a quote: the type is assessed per customer from the API's own documentation. Note the last column — those resources are included in the data model price, not charged separately, and their raw data lands in your warehouse too.
What decides the type
- How the resources in a dataset relate to each other
- Whether the API can return only what changed
- How much history has to be loaded
- Unity Catalog permissions and external location setup
What you get
- A scheduled job in your cloud writing partitioned files to object storage
- Auto Loader ingestion into Delta tables in your workspace
- Incremental sync with checkpointing and idempotent replay
- Historical backfill executed in full
- Monitoring, alerting, runbook, infrastructure definitions and source code, in your accounts
What we deploy
Scheduler ──▶ Job ──▶ Object storage ──▶ Auto Loader ──▶ Delta tablesAuto Loader handles the incremental file discovery, which means a re-run that writes the same files again does not duplicate rows. Combined with a dedup key this makes the whole path safely re-runnable — the property that matters most when something has gone wrong at 06:00.

Send the documentation link. You get a complexity tier, a recommended architecture, a fixed price and a delivery window — free, usually the same day. If a vendor connector would serve you better, we will say that instead.
