Feeds

Graphlit connects to 35 data sources with automatic sync. OAuth, API keys, or public sources.

API terminology: In the Graphlit API, these are called feeds (you create them with createFeed()).

Feed = A connection that continuously syncs data from a source (Slack, S3, RSS, etc.) Connector = Optional per-user auth credential storage (smaller, used with feeds)

Authentication: Feeds support OAuth (Slack, Gmail), API keys (S3, Tavily), or public access (RSS, web crawls).

Connect once, search forever - Automatic sync across all your tools via configurable polling schedules (30 seconds to hours). No manual uploads.

How Feeds Work

No manual uploads

Set up once, content syncs automatically

Configurable polling

Schedule policies from 30 seconds to hours between checks

OAuth handled

No token management, Graphlit handles auth refresh

Incremental updates

Only new/changed content syncs (not full re-ingest)

Deduplication

Same file in Slack and Drive = one copy in your knowledge base

All Feeds (35)

Cloud Storage (4)

Amazon S3

Files from any S3 bucket Access Key auth • Automatic sync

Azure Blob Storage

Files from Azure containers Connection String auth • Automatic sync

Azure File Share

Files from Azure file shares Connection String auth • Automatic sync

Feed Sync Modes

Real-Time Sync (ARCHIVE)

Default mode: Preserve everything, never delete

import { Graphlit } from 'graphlit-client';
import { FeedTypes, TimedPolicyRecurrenceTypes } from 'graphlit-client/dist/generated/graphql-types';

const client = new Graphlit();

const feed = await client.createFeed({
  name: "Slack Archive",
  type: FeedTypes.Slack,
  slack: {
    // ... slack configuration
  },
  schedulePolicy: {
    recurrenceType: TimedPolicyRecurrenceTypes.Repeat,
    repeatInterval: "PT5M"  // Check every 5 minutes (ISO 8601 duration)
  }
});

from graphlit import Graphlit
from graphlit_api import FeedTypes, TimedPolicyRecurrenceTypes
from datetime import timedelta

graphlit = Graphlit()

feed = await graphlit.client.create_feed(
    name="Slack Archive",
    type=FeedTypes.SLACK,
    slack={
        # ... slack configuration
    },
    schedulePolicy={
        "recurrenceType": TimedPolicyRecurrenceTypes.REPEAT,
        "repeatInterval": timedelta(minutes=5)
    }
)

Behavior:

New content added
Updated content re-indexed
Deleted content at source → preserved in Graphlit
Use case: Compliance, audit logs, historical research

Mirror Sync (SYNC)

Mirror mode: Keep in sync with source

import { Graphlit } from 'graphlit-client';
import { FeedTypes, FeedSyncMode } from 'graphlit-client/dist/generated/graphql-types';

const client = new Graphlit();

const feed = await client.createFeed({
  name: "Google Drive Mirror",
  type: FeedTypes.Site,
  site: {
    // ... site configuration
  },
  syncMode: FeedSyncMode.Sync  // Mirror mode
});

from graphlit_api import FeedTypes, FeedSyncMode

graphlit = Graphlit()

feed = await graphlit.client.create_feed(
    name="Google Drive Mirror",
    type=FeedTypes.SITE,
    site={
        # ... site configuration
    },
    syncMode=FeedSyncMode.SYNC
)

Behavior:

New content added
Updated content re-indexed
Deleted content at source → deleted in Graphlit
Use case: Live documentation, current state only

OAuth Setup

Graphlit Manages OAuth

You don't need to:

❌ Store refresh tokens securely
❌ Handle token expiration
❌ Implement refresh logic
❌ Manage webhook subscriptions

Graphlit handles:

✅ Token storage (encrypted)
✅ Automatic refresh
✅ Webhook management
✅ Error recovery

Setup Process

Get OAuth credentials from provider (e.g., Google Cloud Console, Microsoft Azure Portal)
Exchange for refresh token (one-time)
Pass to Graphlit when creating feed
Done - Graphlit manages tokens forever

See: OAuth Setup Guide for detailed instructions per provider.

Feed Filters

Filter by Query (Gmail, Slack, etc.)

      query: "from:*@acmecorp.com OR to:*@acmecorp.com"
    }
  }
});

from graphlit import Graphlit
from graphlit_api import FeedTypes, FeedServiceTypes

graphlit = Graphlit()

feed = await graphlit.client.create_feed(

    type: FeedServiceTypes.OneDrive,
    oneDrive: {
      // folderId: "..."  // Optional: sync specific folder only
    }
  }
});

from graphlit import Graphlit
from graphlit_api import FeedTypes, FeedServiceTypes

graphlit = Graphlit()

feed = await graphlit.client.create_feed(
    name="Sales Folder",
    type=FeedTypes.SITE,
    site={
        "type": FeedServiceTypes.ONE_DRIVE,
        "oneDrive": {
            # "folderId": "..."  # Optional: sync specific folder only
        }
    }
)

Filter by Time

import { Graphlit } from 'graphlit-client';
import { FeedTypes } from 'graphlit-client/dist/generated/graphql-types';

const client = new Graphlit();

const feed = await client.createFeed({
  name: "Recent Slack",
  type: FeedTypes.Slack,
  slack: {
    channel: "engineering",
    oldestMessageTime: new Date(Date.now() - 90 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)  // 90 days ago
  }
});

from graphlit import Graphlit
from graphlit_api import FeedTypes
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

graphlit = Graphlit()

feed = await graphlit.client.create_feed(
    name="Recent Slack",
    type=FeedTypes.SLACK,
    slack={
        "channel": "engineering",
        "oldestMessageTime": datetime.now() - timedelta(days=90)
    }
)

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Multi-Source Customer View

import { Graphlit } from 'graphlit-client';

const client = new Graphlit();

// Connect all customer touchpoints
const feeds = [];

// Email conversations
feeds.push(await client.createFeed({ /* Gmail config */ }));

// Slack mentions  
feeds.push(await client.createFeed({ /* Slack config */ }));

// Support tickets
feeds.push(await client.createFeed({ /* Zendesk config */ }));

// Meeting notes
feeds.push(await client.createFeed({ /* Google Drive config */ }));

// Now search across all sources
const response = await client.queryContents({
  filter: {
    search: "Acme Corp pricing concerns"
  }
});
// ↑ One query → all customer interactions

from graphlit import Graphlit

graphlit = Graphlit()

# Connect all customer touchpoints
feeds = []

# Email conversations
feeds.append(await graphlit.client.create_feed(...))  # Gmail

# Slack mentions
feeds.append(await graphlit.client.create_feed(...))  # Slack

# Support tickets
feeds.append(await graphlit.client.create_feed(...))  # Zendesk

# Meeting notes
feeds.append(await graphlit.client.create_feed(...))  # Google Drive

# Now search across all sources
response = await graphlit.client.query_contents(
    filter={
        "search": "Acme Corp pricing concerns"
    }
)
# ↑ One query → all customer interactions

Pattern 2: Developer Knowledge Base

import { Graphlit } from 'graphlit-client';

const client = new Graphlit();

// Connect engineering sources
const feeds = [
    // Code
    await client.createFeed({ /* GitHub backend-api */ }),
    await client.createFeed({ /* GitHub frontend-app */ }),
    
    // Discussions
    await client.createFeed({ /* Slack engineering */ }),
    await client.createFeed({ /* Slack architecture */ }),
    
    // Issues
    await client.createFeed({ /* Linear engineering-team */ }),
    
    // Docs
    await client.createFeed({ /* Notion engineering-wiki */ }),
    
    // Meetings
    await client.createFeed({ /* Google Drive meeting-notes */ })
];

// Agent has full engineering context

from graphlit import Graphlit

graphlit = Graphlit()

# Connect engineering sources
feeds = [
    # Code
    create_github_feed("backend-api"),
    create_github_feed("frontend-app"),
    
    # Discussions
    create_slack_feed("engineering"),
    create_slack_feed("architecture"),
    
    # Issues
    create_linear_feed("engineering-team"),
    
    # Docs
    create_notion_feed("engineering-wiki"),
    
    # Meetings
    create_google_drive_feed("meeting-notes")
]

# Agent has full engineering context

Pattern 3: Compliance Archive

import { Graphlit } from 'graphlit-client';
import { FeedSyncMode } from 'graphlit-client/dist/generated/graphql-types';

const client = new Graphlit();

// Archive everything (never delete)
const feeds = [
    await client.createFeed({ syncMode: FeedSyncMode.Archive /* Gmail config */ }),
    await client.createFeed({ syncMode: FeedSyncMode.Archive /* Slack config */ }),
    await client.createFeed({ syncMode: FeedSyncMode.Archive /* Teams config */ })
];

// All communications preserved
// Searchable for compliance
// Audit trail maintained

from graphlit import Graphlit
from graphlit_api import FeedSyncMode

graphlit = Graphlit()

# Archive everything (never delete)
feeds = [
    await graphlit.client.create_feed(syncMode=FeedSyncMode.ARCHIVE, ...),  # Gmail
    await graphlit.client.create_feed(syncMode=FeedSyncMode.ARCHIVE, ...),  # Slack
    await graphlit.client.create_feed(syncMode=FeedSyncMode.ARCHIVE, ...)   # Teams
]

# All communications preserved
# Searchable for compliance
# Audit trail maintained
