When you enable a source and grant us access by pasting an API key or authenticating with OAuth, Segment starts a scheduled job on your behalf which makes requests to the downstream tool, normalizes and transforms the data, and forwards the data to the Segment API. We make an effort to use as few API calls as possible, opting to fetch only data that has changed since the previous sync where possible. This can be an intensive process, especially on first sync, so we have lots of affordances in place for retries and to respect rate limits imposed by the partner.

You enable a cloud source from the Segment web app, and grant Segment access by pasting an API key or authenticating with OAuth.

Cloud sources attempt to use as few API calls as possible, and (where possible) only fetch data that changed since the last sync. The syncs might take a long time (especially on the first sync), so the cloud source syncs have robust retry and rate limiting logic.

In general, we've focused on pulling all of the collections directly related to the customer experience. We do not automatically pull all collections available from a partner API, since many of them aren't relevant to the customer journey. You can see a list of the collections we pull in the docs [for each cloud source](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/#cloud-apps). Each collection reflects a table in your database.
