Step3 : Normalize

3.1 Enter data source name -> Choose ClubHouse from the existing connection list -> Click next
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.

Step 4: 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. Drag and drop the table -> Choose your querying options
4.2. Click on -> EXECUTE and selected query will return data successfully
