Installation

Install from PyPi:

pipx install tap-messagebird

Configure using environment variables

This Singer tap will automatically import any environment variables within the working directory's .env if the --config=ENV is provided, such that config values will be considered if a matching environment variable is set either in the terminal context or in the .env file.

Source Authentication and Authorization

Note that Conversations do not work without a Production API key

Usage

You can easily run tap-messagebird by itself or in a pipeline using Meltano.

Executing the Tap Directly

Developer Resources

Follow these instructions to contribute to this project.

Initialize your Development Environment

pipx install poetry
poetry install

Create and Run Tests

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

poetry run pytest

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

poetry run tap-messagebird --help

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.

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

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

Now you can test and orchestrate using Meltano:

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