The main goal was to make it easier to bring structured data from Clay tables into Cognee. I worked on configuring the API endpoint, request parameters, and pagination so the connector could fetch data from the API. Pagination was an important part of the implementation because the API can return data across multiple pages. The connector needs to handle those pages to retrieve the available records properly. I also worked on preparing the data so it could be used in Cognee's ingestion workflow. I tested the implementation with unit tests and a real Clay Enterprise workspace. Working on this connector gave me a chance to contribute to an open-source project and explore how data integrations can connect external sources with AI applications. You can check out my contribution here: [Clay Enterprise connector for Cognee — PR #313](https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee-community/pull/313). ### Acknowledgments A big thank you to [WeMakeDevs](https://www.wemakedevs.org/hackathons/mergetober) for organizing Mergetober and giving developers a chance to contribute to open source. Thanks to the [Cognee team](https://www.cognee.ai/) for building the project and making this contribution possible. I'd also like to thank **Kunal Kushwaha** for encouraging and supporting the developer community. I'm glad I got the opportunity to contribute to Cognee through Mergetober. It was a great way to get involved in open source and work on a practical integration. --- [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/inside-my-open-source-contribution-the-clay-connector-for-cognee-ectmyqbhm) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/inside-my-open-source-contribution-the-clay-connector-for-cognee-ectmyqbhm","headline":"Inside My Open-Source Contribution: The Clay Connector for Cognee","text":"Discussion about \"Inside My Open-Source Contribution: The Clay Connector for Cognee\" on daily.dev - join the developer community","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/inside-my-open-source-contribution-the-clay-connector-for-cognee-ectmyqbhm","datePublished":"2026-10-14T13:54:30.340Z","dateModified":"2026-10-14T13:54:30.340Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Darshan Rajput","url":"https://daily.dev/darshanrajput21","image":"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocIG6RIdW4JAuUe1qpIElNGnvSp2Js0leQmA7WzhWQHON4o0Zwh54w=s96-c","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"EndorseAction"},"userInteractionCount":60}},"image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--m7xnjxHM--/f_auto,pg_1/v1791986071/posts/eCtmyQBHM?_a=BAMAMicg0","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"isPartOf":{"@type":"WebPage","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/7twyudyyybqpok9pvo1gl","name":"Darshan Rajput"}} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Darshan Rajput","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/7twyudyyybqpok9pvo1gl"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Inside My Open-Source Contribution: The Clay Connector for Cognee"}]} ```
