# Collection methods

Hunters supports 3 methods for collecting data into the Hunters platform:

- [Webhook/API extraction](/v1/docs/connection-methods#webhookapi-extraction)
- [Intermediary storage product](/v1/docs/connection-methods#intermediary-storage)
- [3rd party streaming tool](/v1/docs/connection-methods#3rd-party-streaming-tool)

---

## 🪝 Webhook/API extraction

This method is a direct connection established between the data source (for example, [1Password](/v1/docs/1password), [Beyondtrust](/v1/docs/beyondtrust), [Aqua Security](/v1/docs/aqua), and more) and Hunters using the data source API or webhook.

## 🚉 Intermediary storage

Other data sources can be connected to Hunters using an intermediary storage product as a log repository. This means that a storage bucket is used as a mediary to store logs from data sources, and then Hunters pulls these logs from there.

Hunters currently supports the following storage products:

- [AWS S3](/v1/docs/connect-data-through-aws-s3)
- [GCP (Google)](/v1/docs/connect-data-through-gcp)
- [Azure Storage](/v1/docs/connect-data-through-azure-storage)

## 🪄3rd party streaming tool

Another connection method is the setup of a 3rd party log streaming tool. This process requires setting up the streaming tool on the 3rd party product and then connecting it to Hunters.

Hunters currently supports the following 3rd party streaming tools:

- [Oracle Cloud (only for Oracle logs)](/v1/docs/connect-data-through-oracle-cloud)
- [Azure Event Hub (only for some Azure logs)](/v1/docs/connect-data-through-azure-event-hub)
