Example: Singer Pipeline with Postgres

tap-apaleo-conf.json:

{
  "start_date" : "2017-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "client_id": "<apaleo-client-id>",
  "client_secret": "<apaleo-client-secret>"
}

target-postgres-conf.json:

{
  "postgres_host": "localhost",
  "postgres_port": 5432,
  "postgres_database": "postgres",
  "postgres_username": "postgres",
  "postgres_password": "example",
  "postgres_schema": "public"
}

state.json:

{}

With pipx

pipx install git+https://github.com/felixkoch/tap-apaleo.git
pipx install singer-target-postgres

tap-apaleo --config tap-apaleo-conf.json --state state.json | target-postgres --config target-postgres-conf.json >> state.json

tail -1 state.json > state.json.tmp && mv state.json.tmp state.json

With pip3

Install each Tap and Target in a separate Python virtual environment. This will insure that you won't have conflicting dependencies between any Taps and Targets.

mkdir tap-apaleo
cd tap-apaleo
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install git+https://github.com/felixkoch/tap-apaleo.git
deactivate
cd ..

mkdir target-postgres
cd target-postgres
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install singer-target-postgres
deactivate
cd ..

./tap-apaleo/.venv/bin/tap-apaleo --config tap-apaleo-conf.json --state state.json | ./target-postgres/.venv/bin/target-postgres --config target-postgres-conf.json >> state.json
tail -1 state.json > state.json.tmp && mv state.json.tmp state.json
