tap-lotr

tap-lotr is a Singer tap for lotr.

Built with the Meltano Tap SDK for Singer Taps.

Data from the free Lord of the Rings the-one-api.dev API which requires an account.

poetry install

Create and Run Tests

Create tests within the tap_lotr/tests subfolder and then run:

poetry run pytest

You can also test the tap-lotr CLI interface directly using poetry run:

Testing with Meltano

Note: This tap will work in any Singer environment and does not require Meltano. Examples here are for convenience and to streamline end-to-end orchestration scenarios.

Your project comes with a custom meltano.yml project file already created. Open the meltano.yml and follow any "TODO" items listed in the file.

Next, install Meltano (if you haven't already) and any needed plugins:

# Install meltano
pipx install meltano
# Initialize meltano within this directory
cd tap-lotr
meltano install

Set variables and API token

meltano config tap-lotr set api_url https://the-one-api.dev/v2
meltano config tap-lotr set api_key <your_api_key>

Install a test loader

meltano add loader target-jsonl

Now you can test and orchestrate using Meltano:

Run meltano

# Test invocation:
meltano invoke tap-lotr --version
# OR run a test `elt` pipeline:
mkdir output
meltano elt tap-lotr target-jsonl
