Rational Insight: How to query data from REST API (JSON)?


Timur Markunin (6495166146) | asked May 27 '16, 4:19 a.m.
 Hello,

I'm going to create my own ETL job for UrbanCode Deploy data. UCD has REST API that returns data in JSON format. Is it possible to connect DataManager with JSON based REST API data source?

-Thanks in advance

I have not seen any way to do this with DataManager.   However, you could use another ETL tool to bring the UCD data into the same warehouse.

I have used Pentaho Data Integration (Kettle) to bring other data sources into my warehouse.  It is open source and supports many data sources, including a JSON based REST API data source.

The following are links to documentation on it:

The following is a link on accessing CouchDB data as a JSON REST API data source:
