Partner Connectors
Publish your Custom Destination as an officially registered connector, available for all Census users.
What’s a Partner Connector?
A Partner connector is a Custom Destination that is officially registered in our system and available for all users as if it were a first-class Census-built connector.
Why Partner Connectors?
Partner Connectors are a way for you to share your Custom Destination with the Census community. With Partner Connectors, you have a turnkey solution to get data into your product without building and maintaining a web of native integrations. Instead of building 15+ point-to-point integrations with other SaaS solutions, a Census integration lets you immediately connect centralized data in your customer’s data warehouse into your app. See our blog post for more details!
How to create a Partner Connector
- Build a Custom Destination: Follow our Destination Spec to build a Custom Destination.
- Register your connector: Create the connector via the
POST /connectors
endpoint - Submit your connector for review: Once you’ve built your Custom Destination, you can submit it for review by the Census team by contacting us at support@getcensus.com.

Why are my calls to create/update a connector taking a long time?
When you provide an icon_url
we synchronously download it and upload it to our CDN before returning a response. This can make requests to create/update a connector take longer than usual and we will work to make this step an asynchronous job in the near future. If you do not provide the icon_url
your requests should return a response within half a second or so.
