Connector Improvement: Support for Yext "Entities" Endpoint in Fivetran Connector (Deprecation of Legacy "Location" Endpoint)

Answered
Mykyta Holovakin User

Currently, the Fivetran Yext connector only supports the legacy "Location" endpoint, which is now deprecated according to https://hitchhikers.yext.com/docs/managementapis/knowledgegraph/legacy. Our organization requires the connector to use the new "Entities" endpoint, which is the recommended and supported method for accessing location data in Yext.

  • When attempting to sync data via the Fivetran Yext connector, we receive a 403 Unauthorized error on the "locations" endpoint, despite our API key having the necessary permissions for the new endpoints.

  • Manual API calls to the "entities" endpoint (and other new endpoints) using the same API key are successful (HTTP 200), confirming that permissions and connectivity are not the issue.

  • The Fivetran support team has confirmed that the "Entities" endpoint is not yet included in the connector and suggested submitting a feature request for this improvement.

Please enhance the Fivetran Yext connector to support the "Entities" endpoint, ensuring compatibility with Yext's current API standards and enabling continued data integration as the legacy "Location" endpoint is phased out.
