Indexing content is the first step in implementing a Coveo-powered search and relevance solution. During this process, your Optimizely content types are translated into Coveo items stored in a source within your Coveo organization. Coveo offers several generic connectors to facilitate this process: GraphQL, Sitemap, and Web.

Connectors

The following section details the different connectors available for indexing Optimizely content.

GraphQL: This connector is recommended for indexing needs involving complex queries or accessing tailored content within Optimizely. It provides robust querying capabilities, including filtering specific data and accessing dynamic content types.

Sitemap: This connector is ideal for more structured crawling. It adheres to the sitemap protocol to ensure that all listed URLs are indexed effectively.

Web: This connector is best suited for generic website content. It uses simple HTTP requests to access public-facing pages.
