Fivetran API Examples to build custom connectors

Project description

Fivetran API Playground

Downloads

The Fivetran API Playground enables you to explore various sample API endpoints on your local machine, helping you better understand the complexities of real-world APIs. It serves as a hands-on learning tool for building connectors, allowing you to write custom Python code within Fivetran's secure cloud environment. For more information, see our Connector SDK documentation.

Install

pip install fivetran-api-playground

Requirements

  • Python ≥3.10 and ≤3.14
  • Operating System:
    • Windows 10 or later
    • MacOS 13 (Ventura) or later
    • Linux: Distributions such as Ubuntu 20.04 or later, Debian 10 or later, or Amazon Linux 2 or later

Usage

To start the API, run the following command:

playground start  # starts the server on 5001 port by default

playground start --port 
# starts the server on the specified port

You will see a message like:

Starting Local API on port 5001 ...
