Configuring incremental replication

By default, the forms and submissions stream are synced with FULL_TABLE replication. Incremental replication can be enabled by setting the replication metadata in the stream's entry in the catalog file:

• replication_method: set toINCREMENTAL
• replication_key set to created_at or updated_at. The former will omit updated submissions, while the latter will omit new submissions.

For example, to enable incremental replication for the submissions stream:

{
  "streams": [
    {
      "tap_stream_id": "submissions",
      "stream": "submissions",
      "replication_method": "INCREMENTAL",
      "replication_key": "updated_at",
    }
  ]
}

tap-jotform --config CONFIG --discover > ./catalog.json

Developer Resources

Initialize your Development Environment

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh  # or see https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/
uv sync

Create and Run Tests

Create tests within the tap_jotform/tests subfolder and then run:

uv run pytest

You can also test the tap-jotform CLI interface directly using uv run:

uv run tap-jotform --help

Testing with Meltano

Note: This tap will work in any Singer environment and does not require Meltano. Examples here are for convenience and to streamline end-to-end orchestration scenarios.

Use Meltano to run an EL pipeline:

# Test invocation:
uvx meltano invoke tap-jotform --version

# OR run a test `elt` pipeline:
uvx meltano run tap-jotform target-jsonl
