Intro

The Domo DataSet Query connector allows you to query data from an existing Domo DataSet. This connector is designed for simple queries with hard limitations of one million records to be returned from your query and a 60 second time out. You configure the Domo DataSet Query connector in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Domo DataSet Query 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 a Domo Client ID and Client Secret. To obtain these credentials, do the following:
  1. Log into your Domo developer account at https://developer.domo.com/login.
  2. Create a new client.
  3. Select the desired data and user application scope.
  4. Click Create.
If you want to select your DataSet manually rather than by choosing it from a list of DataSets, you must also have the ID of the DataSet you want to query data from. You can find the ID by opening the details view for the DataSet in the Data Center and looking at the portion of the URL following datasources/. For example, in the URL https://mycompany.domo.com/datasources/845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4/details/overview, the DataSet ID is 845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4.

Configuring the connection

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Domo DataSet Query 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.
