How to write or lookup data to FastSpring in SSIS (Import data)

In upper section we learned how to read data, now in this section we will learn how to configure FastSpring in the API Source to Post data to the FastSpring.

1. Read the data from the source, being any desired source component. In example we will use ZappySys Dummy Data Source component.

2. From the SSIS Toolbox drag and drop API Destination (Predefined Templates) on the Data Flow Designer surface and connect source component with it, and double click to edit it.
   

3. Select New Connection to create a new connection:

4. Use a preinstalled FastSpring Connector from Popular Connector List or press Search Online radio button to download FastSpring Connector. Once downloaded simply use it in the configuration:

5. Proceed with selecting the desired Authentication Type. Then select API Base URL (in most cases default one is the right one). Finally, fill in all the required parameters and set optional parameters if needed. You may press a link Steps to Configure which will help set certain parameters. More info is available in Authentication section.

   Steps to get FastSpring Credentials : Http [Http]
   Here is how to obtain API Credentials. You might be able to use your Account Login UserId / Password but we do not reccomend using it. Instead of that use API credentials generated using the following way.

   1. In the FastSpring App, navigate to Developer Tools > APIs > API Credentials.
   2. Click Create. FastSpring will automatically generate your username and password. Use this on the API connection UI
   3. Securely store the credentials for future reference.
   4. If you reset your credentials, update each stored procedure that relies on API access to prevent failed requests.
