vdk-ingest-http 0.1.353684692

Versatile Data Kit SDK ingestion plugin to ingest data via http requests.

VDK-INGEST-HTTP Plugin

This plugin provides functionality to ingest data over http.

Usage

To use the plugin, just install it, and set the method attribute of send_object_for_ingestion(), and send_tabular_data_for_ingestion() functions to "http".

Example:

def run(job_input: IJobInput):
    # Do something to get data for ingestion
    payload = get_some_data()

    # Ingest the data
    job_input.send_object_for_ingestion(payload=payload,
                                        destination_table="aa_test_table",
                                        method="http",
                                        target="http://example.com/data-source"
                                        )

The above example shows how to ingest json data. In this case, there are three arguments that are required: payload, method and target. This would be fixed in the future, so that only payload would be required.
The payload needs to be a json object, and should contain the destination_table inside, using the @table key. For example:

{
    "@table": "destination_table_name",
    "column1": "value1",
    "column2": "value2",
    "column3": "value3",
}

The method attribute needs to be provided for the time being.
The target attribute should specify the url endpoint, where the data will be ingested.
