The steps to use this tool are simple:

  1. Choose a particular service from the drop-down menu. Only available services are in the list. If some services are unavailable, a warning will be displayed at the top of the screen.
  2. Enter all the necessary parameters in the text field. For each parameter, enter its name, an equal (=) sign and its value (as in the screenshot above).
  3. Choose the output format (“raw” will return the native format for the type of resource being connected to).
  4. Click on the “Test!” button. If the connection is successful, the data fetched by the connector service will be displayed below the form. If some error happens, a message will be displayed at the top of the page.
