Purchasing Aftermarket Data Connectors

Hi,
 
Although Power BI has a variety of great data connectors, I did notice that it is missing a few. If I was looking for a specific connector, to say youtube, where would I go to purchase this connector?
 
Thank you

    Anonymous most of the online portal like youtube usually have RestAPI available to pull the data and that can be used in Power BI to extract the data or you can look at the 3rd party tools like Zappier or other that pushes the data from source to target (like in this case it might be pull from YouTube or move to Azure SQL server) and then use Azure SQL Server as your source to Power BI. There are many options.
