The tap-stackexchange Singer tap pulls data from the StackExchange api that can then be sent to a destination using a Singer target.

Standalone usage #

Install the package using pip: 

pip install git+https://github.com/MeltanoLabs/tap-stackexchange.git

For additional instructions, refer to the README in the repository.

Usage with Meltano #

Install Meltano, create your Meltano project, and add the tap to your project as a custom extractor: 

meltano add --custom extractor tap-stackexchange --variant meltanolabs

Then, configure the extractor, add any Singer target as a loader to send data to a destination and run a data integration (EL) pipeline.
