I am trying utilize Django REST APIs to insert data into the database, instead of the direct write. I've been able to read JSON data using the tRESTClient component but I am not too sure about the insertion/POST. Could someone point me to the components (and relation) that I should use?
The current job that I have is mostly: Read data from raw file -> tMap -> DB and I wish to do something like Read data from raw file -> tMap -> (pass on data to REST endpoint via POST)
PS: I realize that this might not be the most efficient way to ingest data but that's what the business wants since it brings in an additional layer of control.
Still not working but I got it moved ahead a little.
Used the tRestClient component after my tMap and I could see the records getting inserted into the DB but all of them are without any data. Strangely nowhere I was asked to specify the JASON tree. The number of records getting inserted are equal to rows being read from raw file so at least something is right. But I couldn't locate the menu/options to specify which data element read from the raw file should tag to which JASON element.
Quite amazed that nobody knows this/ can help with this thing. I am sure somebody would have done doing a POST insert using RESTful APIs in Talend. @ctoum @
Need some help here. Can someone at least point me in some direction? I can try to figure things on my own. At least the experts, let me know which component should I be using.
