2 COMPLETE ARTICLESA source adapter should express what an application may retrieve and what each field actually means. These articles examine permissioned email processing and YouTube metadata workflows. They distinguish message parsing from indiscriminate address collection, and metadata from captions, analytics, or media downloads. Begin by writing the task, required fields, and access conditions in plain language. Then define stable identifiers, observation timestamps, partial completion, and retention. Treat source-specific permissions as a maintained dependency rather than an assumption made once during implementation. The linked topic directory extends the same review questions to WordPress, X, Instagram, Spotify, and other sources.
