Web Connector: A Unified API Wrapper to Simplify Web Data Collection

Summary: Web Connector provides a unified, relational-DB-like API wrapper layer that standardizes heterogeneous Web APIs, letting analysts query disparate services with a familiar read-from-table interface. It minimizes wrapper development using reusable API description files and a semi-automatic generation-by-example tool to create new wrappers without code. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
