tap-sailthru

This is a Singer tap that produces JSON-formatted data following the Singer spec.

This tap:

• Pulls data from the Sailthru API

• Extracts from the following sources to produce streams. Below is a list of all the streams available. See the streams file for a list of classes where each one has a constant indiciating if the stream's replication_method is INCREMENTAL or FULL_TABLE and what the replication_key is, usually modify_time field if it's incremental.

  • Ad Targeter Plan
  • Blast
  • Blast Repeat
  • Blast Query
  • Blast Save List
  • Export Purchase Log
  • List
  • User

• Includes a schema for each resource reflecting most recent tested data retrieved using the api. See the schemas folder for details.

• Some streams incrementally pull data based on the previously saved state. See the bookmarking strategy section for more details.

Bookmarking Strategy

Some endpoints in the Sailthru API support a modify_time (or similar) field that allows for INCREMENTAL replication. However, in most cases there is no such field available so most of the endpoints require FULL_TABLE replication. Furthermore, the API does not support pagination or filtering or ordering of any kind, so that should be taken into consideration for streams with a FULL_TABLE replication.

Authentication

API key/secret can be retrieved by logging into your SailThru account then going to Settings > Setup > API & Postbacks > click lock icon to reveal credentials.

Quick Start

1. Install

Clone this repository, and then install using setup.py. We recommend using a virtualenv:

$ virtualenv -p python3 venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -e .

2. Create your tap's config.json file. The tap config file for this tap should include these entries:

   • start_date - (rfc3339 date string) the default value to use if no bookmark exists for an endpoint
   • user_agent (string, required): Process and email for API logging purposes. Example: tap-sailthru <api_user_email@your_company.com>
   • api_key (string, required): The API key
   • api_secret (string, required): The API secret
   • request_timeout (string/integer/float, optional): The time for which request should wait to get response and default request_timeout is 300 seconds.

And the other values mentioned in the authentication section above.

{
	"start_date": "2021-04-01T00:00:00Z",
	"user_agent": "Stitch Tap (+support@stitchdata.com)",
	"api_key": "<api_key>",
	"api_secret": "<api_secret>",
  "request_timeout": 300
}

Run the Tap in Discovery Mode This creates a catalog.json for selecting objects/fields to integrate:

tap-sailthru --config config.json --discover > catalog.json

See the Singer docs on discovery mode here.

4. Run the Tap in Sync Mode (with catalog) and write out to state file

For Sync mode:

$ tap-sailthru --config tap_config.json --catalog catalog.json >> state.json
$ tail -1 state.json > state.json.tmp && mv state.json.tmp state.json

To load to json files to verify outputs:

$ tap-sailthru --config tap_config.json --catalog catalog.json | target-json >> state.json
$ tail -1 state.json > state.json.tmp && mv state.json.tmp state.json

To pseudo-load to Stitch Import API with dry run:

$ tap-sailthru --config tap_config.json --catalog catalog.json | target-stitch --config target_config.json --dry-run >> state.json
$ tail -1 state.json > state.json.tmp && mv state.json.tmp state.json
