SkillCorner | Collect

1. What Does the Skillcorner Connector Do?​

Within Dadosfera, the connector automates three tasks:

  1. Signs in to the Skillcorner API with your username and password.
  2. Downloads the tables you need (seasons, competitions, matches, physical metrics, etc.) from all competitions.
  3. Delivers this data ready for queries and dashboards in your data warehouse.

Everything runs in the background; you only need to configure it once.

2. Main Features​

FeatureSupportedWhat does it mean in practice?
Schedule collection frequency✔️Run daily, hourly, or at an exact time using cron.
Full load✔️Retrieves all available history on the first run.
Incremental load✔️After the initial history, retrieves only changes since a baseline date you provide.
Username and password authentication✔️Enter your Skillcorner username and password.

Available Tables​

  • seasons – Registered seasons
  • competitions – Available competitions
  • competition_editions – Specific editions of each competition
  • matches – Matches with date, venue, and score
  • physical_match – Distance, speed, accelerations, and other physical metrics

Each table becomes a separate dataset in the Dadosfera catalog.

3. How to Create the Pipeline (Step by Step)​

  1. Open Collect → Pipelines → New Pipeline.
  2. Choose Skillcorner as the source or register a new one.
  3. Enter Username and Password.
  4. Enter a short name and description (e.g., Skillcorner – Matches 2025).
  5. Select the tables you want. Fewer tables mean faster runs.
  6. (Optional) Enable Incremental and enter the Baseline date to retrieve only updates.
  7. Set the frequency (daily, weekly, or cron). The default time zone is UTC.
  8. Save. To run now, click Synchronize Pipeline — it starts within 30 seconds.

4. Quick Best Practices​

  • Less is more: select only the important tables.
  • Use incremental when possible: keeps the database lean and fast.
  • Supervise the first run: monitor logs and adjust dates if the volume is too large.
