About

talend_task is a Python CLI for running Talend Cloud jobs, including ETL pipelines, workflows, and tasks. It uses the Talend Cloud Processing API to trigger job runs and monitor status.

In the CLI, a "job" refers to a runnable Talend Task. Running a job creates a Talend Execution.

Select a job interactively, or specify one directly with --job.

pip install talend-task

Configuration

The CLI requires an Access Token and an API URL for your Talend Cloud region.

• API URL: Talend Cloud regional API endpoint.
• Access Token: Generate in Talend Management Console.

Configuration is provided via environment variables:

export API_URL=https://api.<region>.cloud.talend.com
export ACCESS_TOKEN=<access-token>

(region = us, eu, us-west, etc)

Alternatively, define them in a .env file in the current directory:

API_URL=https://api.<region>.cloud.talend.com
ACCESS_TOKEN=<access-token>

Usage Examples

Interactive mode

Run the CLI without specifying a job to select and execute one from a menu:

Activity mode
