- Optional (If you want to Deploy and Schedule ) - Deploy and Schedule SSIS Packages
How to read data from FastSpring in SSIS (Export data)
In this section we will learn how to configure and use FastSpring Connector in API Source to extract data from FastSpring.
-
Begin with opening Visual Studio and Create a New Project.
Select Integration Service Project and in new project window set the appropriate name and location for project. And click OK.
-
In the new SSIS project screen you will find the following:
- SSIS ToolBox on left side bar
- Solution Explorer and Property Window on right bar
- Control flow, data flow, event Handlers, Package Explorer in tab windows
- Connection Manager Window in the bottom
Note: If you don't see ZappySys SSIS PowerPack Task or Components in SSIS Toolbox, please refer to this help link. -
Now, Drag and Drop SSIS Data Flow Task from SSIS Toolbox. Double click on the Data Flow Task to see Data Flow designer.
-
From the SSIS toolbox drag and API Source (Predefined Templates) on the data flow designer surface, and double click on it to edit it:
-
Select New Connection to create a new connection:

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:
FastSpring -
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.- In the FastSpring App, navigate to Developer Tools > APIs > API Credentials.
- Click Create. FastSpring will automatically generate your username and password. Use this on the API connection UI
- Securely store the credentials for future reference.
- If you reset your credentials, update each stored procedure that relies on API access to prevent failed requests.
FastSpringHttp [Http]https://api.fastspring.comRequired Parameters Optional Parameters UserName Fill in the parameter... Password Fill in the parameter... RetryMode Fill in the parameter... RetryStatusCodeList Fill in the parameter... RetryCountMax Fill in the parameter... RetryMultiplyWaitTime Fill in the parameter... Your Webstore URL Fill in the parameter... -
Select the desired endpoint, change/pass the properties values, and click on Preview Data button to make the API call.
API Source - FastSpringRead / write FastSpring data related to Orders, Subscriptions, Quotes, Products, Accounts and more without coding. -
That's it! We are done! Just in a few clicks we configured the call to FastSpring using FastSpring Connector.
You can load the source data into your desired destination using the Upsert Destination, which supports SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Amazon Redshift. We also offer other destinations such as CSV, Excel, Azure Table, Salesforce, and more. You can check out our SSIS PowerPack Tasks and components for more options. (*loaded in Trash Destination)
Load FastSpring data in SQL Server using Upsert Destination (Insert or Update)
Once you read data from the desired source, now let's see how to Load FastSpring data in SQL Server using Upsert Destination. Upsert Destination can Merge/Synchronize data from source to target for Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSql and Redshift. It supports very fast Bulk Upsert (Update or Insert) operation along and Bulk delete.
-
From the SSIS toolbox drag and drop Upsert Destination on the dataflow designer surface
Connect our Source component to Upsert Destination
-
Double click on Upsert Destination component to configure it.
-
Select the desired Microsoft SQL Server/PostgreSql/Redshift Target Connection or click NEW to create new connection. Select Target Table or click NEW to create new table based on source columns.
Configure SSIS Upsert Destination Connection - Loading data (REST / SOAP / JSON / XML /CSV) into SQL Server or other target using SSIS -
Set Action to Upsert => (insert if not matching in target else update). Select Target Connection and Target Table. Check on Insert and Update. Click on Map All to Mappings all columns and check on Only Primary Key columns.
-
Click on OK to save Upsert Destination settings UI.
-
That's it. Run the SSIS Package and it will read the data from the FastSpring and load the data in the SQL Server/PostgreSql/Redshift using Upsert Destination.
