Getting Started with tRest and API's

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

Still pretty new to Talend but I need some help please.

I am currently using Talend Open Studio and I have managed to create a few jobs and task to make my life as DBA easier. Also managed to setup a job that actually connects to Google Analytics, retrieves stats and then updated local databases for reporting etc...

So although new, I think I am getting a good handle on this. (Considering I started using it 10 months ago and already have 33 active autonomous jobs running daily)

But... hahaha

I have received a new request from my manager to pull data, preferably via Talend, from a site and then process it to our local stores, much like the analytics data, except I am having a hard time getting my head around how this actually works using tRest or tRestClient.

Any tutorials or guidance would be helpful at this point.

So, what I have to use is this:

LSRC2 API

After tinkering with the settings and going through some forums and digging (a lot of digging), I managed to get it a response from the web service.

(Response has been attached.)

And this is fine, at least I know I am doing the call correctly. But now I am stuck. And I don't really understand how to move forward or where to begin.

I know that I am hitting the server correctly, but I have no clue as to how I am supposed to now call the other functions/methods to get the data that I am looking for. In particular, I am really only interested in the 'export_responses' function/method, nothing more and nothing less. Can anyone please provide some guidance on how this actually works? Not really understanding what to do after the initial REST call.


Any help and advice or guidance would be highly appreciated.
