Connect Friends (Connectors?),
Has anyone had success accessing the Connect API through designer? I've been poking through this documentation (https://help.alteryx.com/connect/RESTAPIdocumentation/lucene.html) and I have the login piece figured out, but have not gotten any further. I am fairly new to APIs and the connect documentation seems a bit sparse.
For context, I am trying to retrieve the entry information for tables and columns on one of our SQL servers. We are storing the description information in another location, so I want to marry the info that has already been loaded with the descriptions and reload the updated entries. I've already figured out a way to do this manually (by downloading and excel file of the entry info then processing and reloading) but I would really like to automate the process.
Any help/insight is greatly appreciated.

You might be better off connecting to the underlying database which contains all of the information.

Thanks for the extra info. I think this will be super helpful. I was able to figure out the API to get what I needed but, this looks like it might be more extensive going forward.
