# CreateDataSource
<a name="API_CreateDataSource"></a>

Creates a data source connector that you want to use with an Amazon Kendra index.

You specify a name, data source connector type and description for your data source. You also specify configuration information for the data source connector.

 `CreateDataSource` is a synchronous operation. The operation returns 200 if the data source was successfully created. Otherwise, an exception is raised.

For an example of creating an index and data source using the Python SDK, see [Getting started with Python SDK](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/gs-python.html). For an example of creating an index and data source using the Java SDK, see [Getting started with Java SDK](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/gs-java.html).

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_CreateDataSource_RequestParameters"></a>

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

 ** [ClientToken](#API_CreateDataSource_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="kendra-CreateDataSource-request-ClientToken"></a>
A token that you provide to identify the request to create a data source connector. Multiple calls to the `CreateDataSource` API with the same client token will create only one data source connector.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 100.  
Required: No

 ** [Configuration](#API_CreateDataSource_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="kendra-CreateDataSource-request-Configuration"></a>
Configuration information to connect to your data source repository.  
You can't specify the `Configuration` parameter when the `Type` parameter is set to `CUSTOM`. If you do, you receive a `ValidationException` exception.  
The `Configuration` parameter is required for all other data sources.  
Type: [DataSourceConfiguration](API_DataSourceConfiguration.md) object  
Required: No

 ** [CustomDocumentEnrichmentConfiguration](#API_CreateDataSource_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="kendra-CreateDataSource-request-CustomDocumentEnrichmentConfiguration"></a>
Configuration information for altering document metadata and content during the document ingestion process.  
For more information on how to create, modify and delete document metadata, or make other content alterations when you ingest documents into Amazon Kendra, see [Customizing document metadata during the ingestion process](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/custom-document-enrichment.html).  
Type: [CustomDocumentEnrichmentConfiguration](API_CustomDocumentEnrichmentConfiguration.md) object  
Required: No

 ** [Description](#API_CreateDataSource_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="kendra-CreateDataSource-request-Description"></a>
A description for the data source connector.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1000.  
Pattern: `^\P{C}*$`   
Required: No

 ** [IndexId](#API_CreateDataSource_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="kendra-CreateDataSource-request-IndexId"></a>
The identifier of the index you want to use with the data source connector.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Fixed length of 36.  
Pattern: `[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]*`   
Required: Yes

 ** [LanguageCode](#API_CreateDataSource_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="kendra-CreateDataSource-request-LanguageCode"></a>
The code for a language. This allows you to support a language for all documents when creating the data source connector. English is supported by default. For more information on supported languages, including their codes, see [Adding documents in languages other than English](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/in-adding-languages.html).  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 2. Maximum length of 10.  
Pattern: `[a-zA-Z-]*`

 ** [Name](#API_CreateDataSource_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="kendra-CreateDataSource-request-Name"></a>
A name for the data source connector.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1000.  
Pattern: `[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*`   
Required: Yes

 ** [RoleArn](#API_CreateDataSource_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="kendra-CreateDataSource-request-RoleArn"></a>
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an IAM role with permission to access the data source and required resources. For more information, see [IAM access roles for Amazon Kendra.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/iam-roles.html).  
You can't specify the `RoleArn` parameter when the `Type` parameter is set to `CUSTOM`. If you do, you receive a `ValidationException` exception.  
The `RoleArn` parameter is required for all other data sources.  
Type: String

Pattern: `arn:[a-z0-9-\.]{1,63}:[a-z0-9-\.]{0,63}:[a-z0-9-\.]{0,63}:[a-z0-9-\.]{0,63}:[^/].{0,1023}`   
Required: No

 ** [Schedule](#API_CreateDataSource_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="kendra-CreateDataSource-request-Schedule"></a>
Sets the frequency for Amazon Kendra to check the documents in your data source repository and update the index. If you don't set a schedule Amazon Kendra will not periodically update the index. You can call the `StartDataSourceSyncJob` API to update the index.  
Specify a `cron-` format schedule string or an empty string to indicate that the index is updated on demand.  
You can't specify the `Schedule` parameter when the `Type` parameter is set to `CUSTOM`. If you do, you receive a `ValidationException` exception.
