What’s a Partner Destination?

A Partner destination 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 destination.

​
Why Partner Destinations?

Partner Destinations are a way for you to share your Custom Destination with the Census community. With Partner Destinations, 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!

FAQ

Do Partner Destinations have rate limiting? Partner Destinations use the Custom API rate limiting mechanisms, of which there are two:
  1. Connection-wide rate limiting
  2. Per sync-run rate limiting
Read more here Why are my calls to create/update a destination 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 destination 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.
