tap-salesforce

Singer tap that extracts data from a Salesforce database and produces JSON-formatted data following the Singer spec.

$ mkvirtualenv -p python3 tap-salesforce
$ pip install tap-salesforce
$ tap-salesforce --config config.json --discover
$ tap-salesforce --config config.json --properties properties.json --state state.json

Quickstart

Install the tap

> pip install tap-salesforce

Create a Config file

{
  "client_id": "secret_client_id",
  "client_secret": "secret_client_secret",
  "refresh_token": "abc123",
  "start_date": "2017-11-02",
  "api_type": "BULK",
  "select_fields_by_default": true,
}

The client_id and client_secret keys are your OAuth Salesforce App secrets. The refresh_token is a secret created during the OAuth flow. For more info on the Salesforce OAuth flow, visit the Salesforce documentation.

The start_date is used by the tap as a bound on SOQL queries when searching for records. The api_type is used to switch the behavior of the tap between using Salesforce's "REST" and "BULK" APIs. When new fields are discovered in Salesforce objects, the select_fields_by_default key describes whether or not the tap will select those fields by default.

Run Discovery

To run discovery mode, execute the tap with the config file.

> tap-salesforce --config config.json --discovery > properties.json

Sync Data

To sync data, select fields in the properties.json output and run the tap.

> tap-salesforce --config config.json --properties properties.json [--state state.json]
