The hosted extractors APIs let you configure and run data extraction from external sources into CDF. Define sources (connections to MQTT brokers, Azure Event Hubs, Kafka brokers, or REST APIs), create jobs that extract data, and configure where data lands in CDF. Use these APIs for managed, cloud-hosted data ingestion without running extractors on-premises.

​
Previews

A preview runs until it times out, fails, or receives one message, then stores that result. Use it to inspect what a source emits. A preview needs a source. It does not need a mapping or a destination.
