tap-circle-ci

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

This tap:

• Pulls raw data from Circle CI
• Extracts the following resources:
  • Pipelines
  • Workflows
  • Jobs
• Outputs the schema for each resource
• Incrementally pulls data based on the input state

Quick start

1. Install

   git clone git@github.com:sisudata/tap-circle-ci.git && cd tap-circle-ci && pip install -e .

2. Create a Circle CI access token

   Login to your Circle CI account, go to the Personal API Tokens page, and generate a new token. Copy the token and save it somewhere safe.

3. Create the config file

   Create a JSON file containing the token you just created as well as the project slug to the project you want to extract data from. Retrieve the project slug from the url for a workflow - it should be the VCS your project uses (gh for Github or bb for Bitbucket), followed by the owner or organization, followed by the repository name ex. gh/singer-io/singer-python. You can enter multiple project slugs separated by spaces to pull data from multiple projects.

   {
     "token": "your-access-token",
     "project_slugs": "gh/singer-io/singer-python gh/singer-io/getting-started"
   }

4. Run the tap in discovery mode to get catalog.json file

   tap-circle-ci --config config.json --discover > catalog.json

5. In the catalog.json file, select the streams to sync

   Each stream in the properties.json file has a "metadata" entry. To select a stream to sync, add {"breadcrumb": [], "metadata": {"selected": true}} to that stream's "metadata" entry.
   For example, to sync the pipelines stream:

   ...
       "type": [
         "null",
         "object"
       ],
       "additionalProperties": false
     },
     "stream": "pipelines",
     "metadata": [{"breadcrumb": [], "metadata": {"selected": true}}]
   },
   ...
   

   Another way to select a stream to sync is to add "selected": true into that stream's schema:

   ...
   "tap_stream_id": "workflows",
   "key_properties": [],
   "schema": {
     "selected": true,
     "properties": {
       "_pipeline_id": {
         "type": [
           "null",
           "string"
         ]
   ...
   

   Either way is acceptable, but the first way is preferred.

6. Run the application (will print records and other messages to the console)

   tap-circle-ci can be run with:

   tap-circle-ci --config config.json --catalog catalog.json

   To save output to a file:

   tap-circle-ci --config config.json --catalog catalog.json > output.txt

   It is our intention that this singer tap gets used with a singer target, which will load the output into a database. More information on singer targets here.
