3.2 Choose the table you want to import and  -> Click Create

 

Data Model

The provider models the data in APIs into a list of tables that can be queried using standard SQL statements.

Generally, querying APIs tables is the same as querying a table in a relational database. Sometimes there are special cases, for example, including a certain column in the WHERE clause might be required to get data for certain columns in the table. This is typically needed for situations where a separate request must be made for each row to get certain columns. 

Name	Type	Description
AboutMe	Tables	Returns basic information about authenticated user.
TestAuthenticationToken	Tables	Use this endpoint to test your Authentication Token.
UserEventTypes	Tables	Get some basic information about your event types.
WebhookSubscriptions	Tables	View your current Webhook Subscriptions, also get any of your Webhook Subscriptions.

 

Step :  Analyze 

 Querying the data source data

Lyftron allows you to query the source data by simply writing the ANSI Sql query. Please keep in mind as the data is coming directly from API so, there’s a limit to API calls and performance delay from the Stripe API side which Lyftron can’t control so, don’t expect to pull millions of records in just fraction of seconds. If you have heavy data loads, create the pipeline to unload that data into the Lyftron warehouse and query from it.

4.1. Click on the analyze section on the left panel -> Choose data source from the list, Drag and drop the table -> Choose your querying options

 

4.2. Click on -> EXECUTE and selected query will return data successfully
