- Web URL: Creates a URL to view data.
- Excel Web URL: Creates a URL to import data into Excel. You can then refresh your Excel worksheet to include the recent data in the table.
- Data Streaming
-
Use to push data into a Connect table from an outside source. When you select this feature, Connect gives you a URL that you can use to push data into the table. If you want to copy CURL syntax to stream data from the command prompt, select CURL Post from the Format drop down.
Note
You cannot push more than 10,000 records into a table at once.
If your field name includes a period, such as "value.0.type", the data streaming URL may give you an error. For example, this URL will give an error:- https://connect-test.minitab.com/api/3/SourceInterface/2e06898919d2b/&action=insertData&value.0.type=1
If this occurrs, use the action=insert method instead. This URL will work correctly:- https://connect-test.minitab.com/api/3/SourceInterface/2e06898919d2b/?&action=insert&args=[{"record":{"value.0.type":"1"}}]
