setting-up-a-custom-rest-source

Connect an arbitrary REST API to the PostHog data warehouse as a Custom source by authoring a JSON manifest, with no per-source code. Use when the user points at an API that has no built-in PostHog connector — "import data from this REST API", "sync my internal API", "connect this API from its docs", "build a custom data warehouse source" — and gives a docs URL or a natural-language description of the endpoints. Walks through drafting the RESTAPIConfig manifest (auth — bearer, API key, HTTP basic, or OAuth2 client credentials / refresh token — pagination, record path, incremental cursor, parent/child fan-out), validating it, test-reading live rows to verify the field mappings, and creating the source. If the API already has a native PostHog connector, use setting-up-a-data-warehouse-source instead — this skill checks the connector registry first and only handles APIs with no native connector.
