Getting your data

 Looking to free your Custom database data? Good, you’ve come to the right place. ## Getting connected 1. Select **Connections** from the main menu 2. Click the **New** button 3. Select **Custom database** 4. Give it a name (this is especially useful if you’re creating multiple Custom database connections) 5. Authorise the connection by following the prompts to sign in to your Custom database account 6. Done. Now watch as SyncHub begins retrieving your historical data. To connect multiple Custom database accounts, simply follow the steps above for each one. Just make sure to check that your SyncHub plan allows for multiple API connections. ## Available endpoints SyncHub works by regularly querying each endpoint in the Custom database API, checking for new and modified data. For each endpoint SyncHub produces a corresponding data table in your reporting tool. These are the endpoints currently available: - Database table Need more data? No problem, please [let us know](https://www.synchub.io/contact) and we'll see if we can add it. Or if you're a data nerd like us, feel free to check out the Custom database API documentation to see what’s available. ### What data does SyncHub take from Custom database? SyncHub extracts the endpoints above from Custom database, and stores it in your data warehouse. ### What data does SyncHub create or modify in Custom database? Nothing. SyncHub is read-only and never sends data back to Custom database. ## Building your reports SyncHub stores data in a relational database optimized for reporting. This means that reporting from your favourite reporting tool is as easy as using their standard _database connector_.
