Data Sources and Connectors
Connectors declare how they get their data. Some run with no credentials, some need an API key, and some read licensed exports because scraping the site would breach its terms.

Transport types
| Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
| live | Public API, runs with no credentials |
| keyed | Runs once its API credentials are configured |
| import | Reads a licensed feed or your own exports |
What each contributes
- Hacker News and Reddit — candid, detailed descriptions of workflow friction
- App Store and Google Play — one and two-star reviews, unusually specific about what broke
- G2 and Capterra — the highest-signal B2B complaints, via licensed feed or export
- Upwork — job posts, which are demand with a budget attached
- Product Hunt — what has already shipped and how it landed
- Y Combinator, TrustMRR, Acquire and the Stripe index — revenue and company data used to anchor estimates
On the import sources
G2, Capterra, TrustMRR and Acquire all forbid scraping in their terms of service. Rather than evade that, those connectors read either a licensed provider endpoint or files you supply. The adapter is real; only the transport differs.
