TODO complex subject, lots of documentation (gui coming soon), this section just highlights a few of the most relevant possibilities to datasiftAlthough the focus of this Amazon AWS Marketplace product is to allow users to ingest social media easily from datasift, the entire Infinit.e community platform is included.
Infinit.e is a general purpose tool for harvesting, enriching, and analyzing data of many different types from many different sources, including filesystems and enterprise Intranets, databases, and the Web.
This section provides a brief description of the more general harvesting functionality, and mainly a list of resources for users who want to explore these additional capabilities. Note that Infinit.e provides a rich and complex framework (though with simple shortcuts and templates where possible), and it is beyond the scope of this web page to document it fully.
Overview of harvesting in Infinit.e
Harvesting in Infinit.e is controlled by JSON documents called sources. These sources can be tested by POSTing to the Config - Source - Test REST endpoint, and activated/updated ("published") by POSTing to the Config - Source - Save REST endpoint.
