In Nexla, Bunny.net data sources can be created using pre-built endpoint templates, which expedite source setup for common Bunny.net endpoints. Each template is designed specifically for the corresponding Bunny.net endpoint, making data source setup easy and efficient.
• To configure this source using a template, follow the instructions in Configure Using a Template.Bunny.net sources can also be configured manually, allowing you to ingest data from Bunny.net endpoints not included in the pre-built templates or apply further customizations to exactly suit your needs.
• To configure this source manually, follow the instructions in Configure Manually.
Configure Using a Template
Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure data sources to ingest data from common Bunny.net endpoints. Each template is designed specifically for the corresponding Bunny.net endpoint, making data source setup easy and efficient.
Endpoint Settings
-
Select the endpoint from which this source will fetch data from the Endpoint pulldown menu. Available endpoint templates are listed in the expandable boxes below. Click on an endpoint to see more information about it and how to configure your data source for this endpoint.
Endpoint Testing
Once the selected endpoint template has been configured, Nexla can retrieve a sample of the data that will be fetched according to the current settings. This allows users to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.
-
To test the current endpoint configuration, click the Test button to the right of the endpoint selection menu. Sample data will be fetched & displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right.
-
If the sample data is not as expected, review the selected endpoint and associated settings, and make any necessary adjustments. Then, click the Test button again, and check the sample data to ensure that the correct information is displayed.
Configure Manually
Bunny.net sources can also be configured manually, allowing you to ingest data from any valid Bunny.net API endpoint. Configuration options available for Bunny.net sources allow them to be fully customized to suit any use case—including using chained API calls to fetch data from multiple endpoints or sources that require custom request parameters.
First, select the method that will be used for calls to the Bunny.net API from the Method pulldown menu. The most common method for data retrieval is:
- GET: For retrieving data from the API (pull zones, statistics, storage zones, DNS records, etc.)
- POST: For sending data to the API or triggering actions
- PUT: For updating existing data
- PATCH: For partial updates to existing data
- DELETE: For removing data
API Endpoint URL
-
Enter the URL of the Bunny.net API endpoint from which this source will fetch data in the Set API URL field. This should be the complete URL including the protocol (
https://) and any required path parameters.Common Bunny.net Core API base URLs include:
- Pull zones:
https://api.bunny.net/pullzone - Storage zones:
https://api.bunny.net/storagezone - DNS zones:
https://api.bunny.net/dnszone - Statistics:
https://api.bunny.net/statistics - Billing:
https://api.bunny.net/billing - Video libraries (Stream):
https://api.bunny.net/videolibrary
- Pull zones:
The bunny.net Core API base URL is https://api.bunny.net. Append the specific resource path to target the desired endpoint. Additional information about available endpoints is available in the bunny.net Core API reference.
Date/Time Macros (API URL)
Optionally, the API URL can be customized using macros—all macros added to the API URL will be converted into values when Nexla executes the API call. Macros are dynamic placeholders that allow you to create flexible API endpoints that can adapt to different time periods or data requirements.
Date/time macros are particularly useful for the Bunny.net statistics endpoint, which accepts dateFrom and dateTo query parameters to specify the reporting period. Using macros allows you to automatically retrieve statistics for rolling time windows without manually updating the URL.
-
To add a macro, type
{at the appropriate position in the API URL (within the Set API URL field), and select the desired macro from the dropdown list.{now}– The current datetime{now-1}– The datetime one time unit before the current datetime{now+1}– The datetime one time unit after the current datetimecustom– Datetime macros can reference any number of time units before or after the current datetime—for example, enter(now-4)to indicate the datetime four time units before the current datetime
-
Select the format that will be applied to datetime macros from the Date Format for Date/Time Macro pulldown menu. This format will be applied to the base datetime value of the macro—i.e., the value of
{now}in{now-1}. -
Select the datetime unit that will be used to perform mathematical operations in the included macro(s) from the Time Unit for Operations pulldown menu—for example, for the macro
{now-1}, whenDayis selected,{now-1}will be converted to the datetime one day before the current datetime.
Lookup-Based Macros (API URL)
Column values from existing lookups can also be included as macros in the API URL. Lookup-based macros allow you to reference data from previously configured data sources or lookups, enabling dynamic API endpoints that can adapt based on existing data.
Lookup-based macros are useful for Bunny.net integrations when you need to retrieve data for specific pull zones or storage zones identified in another Nexla source. For example, you can use a lookup of pull zone IDs to retrieve per-zone statistics dynamically.
-
To include a lookup column value macro, select the relevant lookup from the Add Lookups to Supported Macros pulldown menu.
-
Type
{at the appropriate position in the API URL, and select the lookup column-based macro from the dropdown list. Lookup-based macros are automatically populated into the macro list when a lookup is selected in the Add Lookups to Supported Macros pulldown menu.
Path to Data
If only a subset of the data that will be returned by the API endpoint is needed, you can designate the part(s) of the response that should be included in the Nexset(s) produced from this source by specifying the path to the relevant data within the response. This is particularly useful when Bunny.net API responses contain metadata, pagination information, or other data that you don't need for your analysis.
For example, when a request call is used to fetch a list of pull zones, the Bunny.net API returns a JSON object that contains an Items array with the pull zone records, along with pagination metadata such as TotalItems and CurrentPage. By entering the path to the Items array, you can configure Nexla to treat each element of the returned array as a record.
Path to Data is essential when Bunny.net API responses have nested structures. Many Bunny.net list endpoints wrap results in an Items property — use $.Items[*] as the path to extract individual records.
-
To specify which data should be treated as relevant in responses from this source, enter the path to the relevant data in the Set Path to Data in Response field.
-
For responses in JSON format enter the JSON path that points to the object or array that should be treated as relevant data. JSON paths use dot notation (e.g.,
$.Items[*]to access the items array within a Bunny.net list response). -
For responses in XML format, enter the XPath that points to the object/array containing relevant data. XPath uses slash notation (e.g.,
/response/data/itemto access item elements within a data element).
Path to Data Example:For the Bunny.net pull zone list endpoint (
https://api.bunny.net/pullzone), the API returns a JSON object where pull zone records are in theItemsarray. Enter$.Items[*]as the path to extract individual pull zone records. -
Autogenerate Path Suggestions
Nexla can also autogenerate data path suggestions based on the response from the API endpoint. These suggested paths can be used as-is or modified to exactly suit your needs.
-
To use this feature, click the Test button next to the Set API URL field to fetch a sample response from the API endpoint. Suggested data paths generated based on the content & format of the response will be displayed in the Suggestions box below the Set Path to Data in Response field.
-
Click on a suggestion to automatically populate the Set Path to Data in Response field with the corresponding path. The populated path can be modified directly within the field if further customization is needed.

Metadata
If metadata is included in the response but is located outside of the defined path to relevant data, you can configure Nexla to include this data as common metadata in each record. This is useful when you want to preserve important contextual information that applies to all records but isn't part of the main data array.
For example, the Bunny.net list endpoints return pagination metadata such as TotalItems, CurrentPage, and HasMoreItems outside of the Items array. If you have set the path to data as $.Items[*], you can specify a metadata path to preserve these pagination details with each record.
Metadata paths are particularly useful when ingesting paginated Bunny.net API responses, as they allow you to capture total record counts, page numbers, and other summary information alongside individual records.
-
To specify the location of metadata that should be included with each record, enter the path to the relevant metadata in the Path to Metadata in Response field.
- For responses in JSON format, enter the JSON path to the object or array that contains the metadata, and for responses in XML format, enter the XPath.
Request Headers
-
If Nexla should include any additional request headers in API calls to this source, enter the headers & corresponding values as comma-separated pairs in the Request Headers field (e.g.,
header1:value1,header2:value2). Additional headers are often required for API versioning, content type specifications, or custom authentication requirements.You do not need to include the
AccessKeyauthentication header here — it is automatically included by Nexla based on your Bunny.net credential configuration. Common headers like Authorization, Content-Type, and Accept are typically handled automatically by Nexla.
Save & Activate the Source
- Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Create button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the new Bunny.net data source. Nexla will now begin ingesting data from the configured endpoint and will organize any data that it finds into one or more Nexsets.
