tap-zenhub

Overview

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

This tap:

• Pulls raw data from Zenhub
• Extracts the following resources:
  • Issues
  • Issue Events
• Outputs the schema for each resource
• Incrementally pulls data based on the input state

Due to limitations in the Zenhub API, issue events are pulled for all existing issues - there is no way to tell when an issue was last updated with Zenhub.

Quick start

1. Install through pipenv

   pipenv install git+https://github.com/chillu/singer-tap-zenhub.git@master#egg=tap_zenhub
   

2. Create a GitHub access token

   Login to your GitHub account, go to the Personal Access Tokens settings page, and generate a new token with at least the repo scope. Save this access token, you'll need it for the next step.

3. Create a Zenhub API token.

4. Create the config file

   Create a JSON file containing the access token you just created and the path to the repository. The repo paths are relative to https://github.com/. For example the path for this repository is singer-io/tap-github.

   {
       "github_token": "",
       "zenhub_token": "",
       "repos": [
           "some-org/some-repo",
           "some-org/some-other-repo"
       ]
   }

5. Run the application

   pipenv run tap-zenhub --config config.json --state state.json

6. Using state

Supplying a state.json helps the tap to reduce API calls, and only fetch closed issues since the last run. It will also re-start partial imports on a repo, and prioritise repos with the least recent import runs.

First you'll need to create an empty state file:

echo '{"bookmarks": {"issues": {}}}' > state.json

Now you can run it with that empty state:

pipenv run tap-zenhub --config config.json --state state.json

In order to write new state, you'll need to send to a target. Here's an example with the Stitch Target.

pipenv run tap-zenhub --state state.json --config config.json | target-stitch --config target-config.json -v  > state.tmp.json && rm state.json && mv state.tmp.json state.json
