target-datadotworld 1.0.1

Install and Run

First, make sure Python 3.6 is installed on your system.

target-datadotworld can be run with any Singer Tap, but we’ll use tap-fixerio which pulls currency exchange rate data - as an example.

These commands will install tap-fixerio and target-datadotworld with pip, and then run them together, piping the output of tap-fixerio to target-datadotworld:

? pip install target-datadotworld tap-fixerio
? tap-fixerio | target-datadotworld -c config.json
INFO Replicating the latest exchange rate data from fixer.io
INFO Tap exiting normally

The data will be written to the dataset specified in config.json. In this specific case, under a stream named exchange-rates.

If you’re using a different Tap, substitute tap-fixerio in the final command above with the command used to run your Tap.

Configuration

target-datadotworld requires configuration file that is used to store your data.world API token and dataset information.

The following attributes are required:

• api_token: Your data.world API token

• dataset_id: The title of the dataset where the data is to be stored. Must only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes.

Additionally, the following optional attributes can be provided.

• dataset_owner: If not the same as the owner of the API token (e.g. if the dataset is to be accessed/created under an organization account, as opposed to the user’s own)

Example:

{
    "api_token": "your_token",
    "dataset_id": "fixerio-data",
    "dataset_owner": "my-company",
}
