Intro

data.world is the modern catalog for data and analysis. It activates the hidden data workforce within your enterprise, multiplies your data value, and creates a faster data-driven culture. The modern, intuitive user experience brings together employees of all roles, backgrounds, and skills to collaborate while keeping the data connected to everything people need to find, understand, and use. As a result, your data, analysis, and expertise become more discoverable, trustworthy, and reusable.

With the data.world Writeback connector export your data from a Domo dataset to your specified file securely and enhance your data performance.. To learn more about the data.world API, visit their page https://apidocs.data.world/.

You configure your Domo-data.world connection in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the data.world Writeback Connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To configure this Connector, you must have your data.world account API token. You can find your API token under User Setting >> Advanced Tab.

Configuring the Connection

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the data.world Writeback Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most Connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your data.world account where you want your data to be copied to. The following table describes what is needed for each field:  

Field

Description
API Token Enter the API Token. You can find your API token under User Setting >> Advanced Tab.

Once you have entered valid credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to set up a new data.world Writeback DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane contains a number of fields for specifying your data and indicating where it's going.

Menu

Description

Input DataSet ID

Enter your Domo dataset ID(GUID) located in the dataset URL. Example: https://customer.domo.com/datasources/aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee/details/settings
Select data.world DataSet Method Specify whether you want to select your data.world dataset or enter the dataset ID manually.
data.world DataSet Select the location to copy your data.world dataset from. 
data.world DataSet Enter the data.world dataset id.
Select File Name Method Specify whether you want to select your output file or enter the filename manually.
File Name Enter the output file name without the file extension. If the provided file name collides with an existing file, the connector will overwrite that file.
Files Select the file name you want to write to. Files will have the `.csv` extension.
Append Date or Number to Filename
Operation Description
None Doesn't append anything to the file name. This means that the file will always be overwritten on every run instead of creating new files.
Append date Appends date of current run to the file name (e.g., FileName_MM-DD-YYYY.csv). This means that if there are multiple runs on the same day, the previous run will be overwritten. Runs on new days will create new files.
Append number Appends run number (starting from 1) to file name (e.g., FileName_1.csv). This means that a new file will be created on every run.

Other Panes
