Hi there!
I would like to be able to create a new FTP/sFTP data source through the api. The doc here (http://apidocs.klipfolio.com/docs/data-sources#post-datasources) doesn't specify the parameters needed in the curl request (ftp hostname, user, etc.)
I also would like to create a local data source, similar as CSV or JSON file upload but I cannot find this type of datasource in the api docs.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Hello!
To create a new web connected data source (meaning not a file upload data source), you should use an existing data source of the same type as an example. Do you have an FTP data source in your account already? If so, use the GET with additional ?full=true at the end to see all the parameters. This can then be your guide to create a new one.
GET request:https://app.klipfolio.com/api/1.0/datasource-instances/{id}?full=true
http://apidocs.klipfolio.com/docs/data-source-instances#get-datasource-instancesid
There is a POST example for a Facebook Data source here http://apidocs.klipfolio.com/docs/getting-started#api-call-examples
You can not create a new file upload data source. This will need to be created in the dashboard first. You can update it using the API with the PUT command:
http://apidocs.klipfolio.com/docs/data-source-instances-data#put-datasource-instancesiddata
If you run into trouble, can you send a copy of your API command to support@klipfolio.com and we can help you?
Thanks,
Meggan
