Importing MySQL data into Salesforce

I've been researching this for awhile and having trouble figuring out where to start. I think I want to use a REST API and understand that I will need to expose my data, but I'm not sure how to make SaleForce automatically check this. Any pointers welcome.

You need to make Apex Callouts using HTTP request class and then parse the response which you will receive in salesforce.

For exposing your data to MySQL (https://skyvia.com/data-integration/integrate-salesforce-mysql), you can use our service, such as Skyvia. It`s a completely no-coding solution, here you can set the time for making daily-based updates and this will keep your data always up-to-date.
