Introduction

JSON / REST API is becoming more and more popular each day as everyone embrace cloud-centric services. This article is primarily focused on Informatica users who want to access OneDrive data or may be other API Integration in Informatica. However many tips and techniques described in this article will help you to understand how to integrate OneDrive / XML SOAP / JSON / REST API in other ETL / Reporting apps such as Tableau, Power BI, SSRS, Talend, Excel and many more.

After going through this article you will learn how to Read OneDrive / JSON / REST API data in Informatica and understand the concept of JSON / REST API. We will go through many screenshots and step-by-step examples to demonstrate  OneDrive or REST API integration in Informatica PowerCenter.

XML / JSON can come from a local file or REST API service (internal or public) so we will include both examples in this article (i.e. Read JSON files in Informatica,  Import REST API in Informatica). So let’s get started. Next article will focus on how to write data to API in Informatica (POST / PUT data)

   Loading OneDrive data to SQL Table in Informatica (Import REST API or JSON Files)

Video Tutorial – Read any API / JSON data in Informatica (Load OneDrive to SQL Table)

Getting Started – Import OneDrive to SQL Server in Informatica

Now let’s get started. For example purpose, we will read data from OneDrive and load data into SQL Server Table using Informatica Workflow.

Create ODBC Data Source (DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

Step-by-step instructions

To get data from OneDrive using Informatica we first need to create a DSN (Data Source) which will access data from OneDrive. We will later be able to read data using Informatica. Perform these steps:

1. Download and install ODBC PowerPack.

2. Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):

   

3. Create a User data source (User DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

   ZappySys API Driver

   
   • Create and use User DSN if the client application is run under a User Account. This is an ideal option in design-time, when developing a solution, e.g. in Visual Studio 2019. Use it for both type of applications - 64-bit and 32-bit.
   • Create and use System DSN if the client application is launched under a System Account, e.g. as a Windows Service. Usually, this is an ideal option to use in a production environment. Use ODBC Data Source Administrator (32-bit), instead of 64-bit version, if Windows Service is a 32-bit application.

4. When the Configuration window appears give your data source a name if you haven't done that already, then select "OneDrive" from the list of Popular Connectors. If "OneDrive" is not present in the list, then click "Search Online" and download it. Then set the path to the location where you downloaded it. Finally, click Continue >> to proceed with configuring the DSN:

   OnedriveDSN

   OneDrive

   

5. Now it's time to configure the Connection Manager. Select Authentication Type, e.g. Token Authentication. Then select API Base URL (in most cases, the default one is the right one). More info is available in the Authentication section.

    User Credentials [OAuth]

   Use delegated access (User Credentials) whenever you want to let a signed-in user work with their own resources or resources they can access. Whether it's an admin setting up policies for their entire organization or a user deleting an email in their inbox, all scenarios involving user actions should use delegated access. [API reference]

   Steps how to get and use OneDrive credentials
   

   Follow these simple steps below to create Microsoft Entra ID application with delegated access:

   WARNING: To automate your company's processes, make sure you use a system/generic account (e.g. automation@my-company.com). When you use a personal account which is tied to a specific employee profile and that employee leaves the company, the token may become invalid and any automated processes using that token will start to fail.

   1. Navigate to the Azure Portal and log in using your credentials.
   2. Access Microsoft Entra ID.
   3. Register a new application by going to App registrations and clicking on New registration button:
      INFO: Find more information on how to register an application in Graph API reference.
   4. When configuration window opens, configure these fields:
      • Supported account type
        • Use Accounts in this organizational directory only, if you need access to data in your organization only.
      • Redirect URI:
        • Set the type to Public client/native (mobile & desktop).
        • Use https://zappysys.com/oauth as the URL.
      
   5. After registering the app, copy the Application (client) ID for later:
   6. Then copy OAuth authorization endpoint (v2) & OAuth token endpoint (v2) URLs to use later in the configuration:
   7. Now go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and use the copied values in User Credentials authentication configuration:
      • In the Authorization URL field paste the OAuth authorization endpoint (v2) URL value you copied in the previous step.
      • In the Token URL field paste the OAuth token endpoint (v2) URL value you copied in the previous step.
      • In the Client ID field paste the Application (client) ID value you copied in the previous step.
      • In the Scope field use the default value or select individual scopes, e.g.:
        • email
        • offline_access
        • openid
        • profile
        • User.Read
        • Files.Read.All
        • Files.ReadWrite.All
   8. Press Generate Token button to generate Access and Refresh Tokens.
   9. Optional step. Choose Default Site Id from the drop down menu.
   10. Click Test Connection to confirm the connection is working.
   11. Done! Now you are ready to use the API Connector!

   Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

   Extra Headers (e.g. Header1:AAA||Header2:BBB)
   IsAppCred	0

   

    Application Credentials [OAuth]

   Application-only access is broader and more powerful than delegated access (User Credentials), so you should only use app-only access where needed. Use it when: 1. The application needs to run in an automated way, without user input (for example, a daily script that checks emails from certain contacts and sends automated responses). 2. The application needs to access resources belonging to multiple different users (for example, a backup or data loss prevention app might need to retrieve messages from many different chat channels, each with different participants). 3. You find yourself tempted to store credentials locally and allow the app to sign in 'as' the user or admin. [API reference]

   Steps how to get and use OneDrive credentials
   

   Follow these simple steps below to create Microsoft Entra ID application with application access permissions. Using following steps, you can grant very granular app permissions to access Full site(s), List(s), List Item(s) and File(s). Choose permission based on your need.

   Create OAuth app

   1. Navigate to the Azure Portal and log in using your credentials.
   2. Access Microsoft Entra ID.
   3. Register a new application by going to App registrations and clicking on New registration button:
      INFO: Find more information on how to register an application in Graph API reference.
   4. When configuration window opens, configure these fields:
      • Supported account type
        • e.g. select Accounts in this organizational directory only if you need access to data in your organization only.
      • Redirect URI:
        • Set the type to Public client/native (mobile & desktop).
        • Leave the URL field empty.
      
   5. After registering the app, copy the Application (client) ID for later:
   6. Then copy OAuth authorization endpoint (v2) & OAuth token endpoint (v2) URLs:
   7. Continue and create Client secret:
   8. Then copy the Client secret for later steps:
   9. Continue by adding permissions for the app by going to the API permissions section, and clicking on Add a permission:
   10. Select Microsoft Graph:
   11. Then choose Application permissions option:
   12. Continue by adding these Files (OneDrive) permissions (Just search for "Site" and then select desired permissions):
   13. Move on by addding these Sites (SharePoint) permissions (You can search for "Site" and then select desired permissions):
   14. Finish by clicking Add permissions button:
   15. Now it's time to Grant admin consent for your application:
   16. Confirm all the permissions are granted:
   17. Now go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and use the copied values in Application Credentials authentication configuration:
       • In the Token URL field paste the OAuth token endpoint (v2) URL value you copied in the previous step.
       • In the Client ID field paste the Application (client) ID value you copied in the previous step.
       • In the Client Secret field paste the Client secret value you copied in the previous step.
       • Optional step. Choose Default Site Id from the drop down menu.
   18. Click Test Connection to confirm the connection is working.
   19. Done! Let's move on to the next step.

   Step-2 (Method#1 - New Approach): Grant permission to app using permission API (UI is not available yet)

   In year 2024 microsoft launched

   *.Selected

   permission scopes and new APIs to grant granular permissions to the resource for app access scenario. Unfortunatly, there is no User interface available yet to control this access so you have to call Admin API or use PowerShell script to control this. [Click here to learn more]. Follow these simple steps to configure permissions for app we created earlier (steps assume you are the owner of the resource and like to grant some permissions e.g. read, write, full, owner):

   1. Open PowerShell (Run as Admin user)
   2. Install Graph API module by running this command

      Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Sites

   3. Now you can call following PowerShell code to set "read" and "write" permission for the app we created earlier (assuming app id is 89ea5c94-7736-4e25-95ad-3fa95f62b66e).

      
      #More info https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/permissions-selected-overview?tabs=powershell
      
      #Step-1: Install module if not found
      #Install-Module Microsoft.Graph.Sites
      
      #Step-2: set permission for app 89xxx6e and site zappysys.xx.efcdd21xxxxe2
      Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Sites
      
      #Step-3: Login
      Connect-MgGraph
      
      #Step-4: Set Parameters for API Call (set Permissions, SiteId and AppId - Replace under #TODO)
      
      You can find SiteId by visiting this URL in browser (assuming you visted SharePoint site and already logged in) https://{your-company}.sharepoint.com/_api/site --OR-- for sub-site use https://{your-company}.sharepoint.com/sites/{your-site}/_api/site. Find  Id from the response (e.g. <Id m:type="Edm.Guid">)
      $siteId="yourcompany.sharepoint.com,efcddxxxxxxx104d8b5e3,8c9c6xxxxxxxx84e2"
      #--OR-- simple id
      #$siteId="efcddxxxxxxx104d8b5e3"
      
      
      $params = @{
      	roles = @(
              #possible options are read, write, fullcontrol, owner (write includes read too)
      		#TODO: Change here
      		"write"
      	)
      	grantedTo = @{
      		application = @{
                  #find this Client Id (Application Id) from the Azure Portal - Application page (https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationsListBlade)
      			#TODO: Change here
      			id = "c3e9xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxb30c1"
      		}
      	}
      }

    Application Credentials with Certificate (Sign JWT with Private Key) [OAuth]

   Steps how to get and use OneDrive credentials
   To use Certificate-Based Authentication Setup please follow the steps listed in [Application Credentials] authentication and once done come back here to finish next stsps.

   This guide walks you through setting up a certificate-based authentication flow for Microsoft Graph or other Azure AD protected APIs using client credentials and a JWT.

   Step 1: Generate a Self-Signed Certificate

   You can use OpenSSL or any other way to generate Certificate file but make it simple below example uses PowerShell. Open PowerShell and execute code listed in below steps.

   
   # Run this in PowerShell
   #Change .AddYears(1) to desired number. By default it expires certificate in one year as per below code.
   
   $cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate `
     -Subject "CN=MyClientAppCert" `
     -KeySpec Signature `
     -KeyExportPolicy Exportable `
     -KeyLength 2048 `
     -CertStoreLocation "Cert:\CurrentUser\My" `
     -KeyAlgorithm RSA `
     -HashAlgorithm SHA256 `
     -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(1) `
     -Provider "Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider"
   
   # Export private key (.pfx)  - Keep this with you to make API calls (SECRET KEY - DONOT SHARE)
   $pfxPath = "$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\private_key.pfx"
   $pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "yourStrongPassword123" -Force -AsPlainText
   Export-PfxCertificate -Cert $cert -FilePath $pfxPath -Password $pwd
   
   # Export public certificate (.cer) - UPLOAD this to Azure Portal
   $cerPath = "$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\public_key.cer"
   Export-Certificate -Cert $cert -FilePath $cerPath
   

   Step 2: Register or Configure an App in Azure AD

   1. Go to https://portal.azure.com
   2. Navigate to Azure Active Directory > App registrations
   3. Click + New registration or open an existing app
   4. Copy the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID

   Step 3: Upload the Certificate

   1. In your App Registration, go to Certificates & secrets
   2. Under Certificates, click Upload certificate
   3. Select the .cer file (public certificate)
   4. Click Add

   Step 4: Grant API Permissions

   1. Go to the API permissions tab
   2. Click Add a permission
   3. Select Microsoft Graph (or another API)
   4. Choose Application permissions
   5. Add scopes such as:
      • Sites.Read.All
      • Sites.ReadWrite.All
      • Files.Read.All
      • Files.ReadWrite.All
      • email
      • offline_access
      • openid
      • profile
      • User.Read
   6. Click Grant admin consent (requires admin)

   Step 5: Use PFX file

   Once both files generated perform the following steps to use PFX file., , Use the Certificate file (*.pfx) Now its time to use pfx file generated in the previous step. PFX file contains private key and public key both.

   1. On ZappySys Connection UI Go to Certificate Tab
   2. Change Storage Mode to Local PFX File (or you can Import PFX file in Certificate Storage - User Store / Machine Store and use that way)
   3. Supply the pfx file path or select certificate from Local Certificate Store if you imported that way in earlier step
   4. Supply the certificate password (same password used in earlier PowerShell script)
   5. Test connection see everything is good

   Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

   OnedriveDSN

   Extra Headers (e.g. Header1:AAA||Header2:BBB)
   IsAppCred	1

   

6. Once the data source connection has been configured, it's time to configure the SQL query. Select the Preview tab and then click Query Builder button to configure the SQL query:

   

   ZappySys API Driver - OneDrive

   OneDrive Connector can be used to integrate OneDrive and your defined data source, e.g. Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Excel, Power BI, etc. Get, write, delete OneDrive data in a few clicks!

   OnedriveDSN

   

7. Start by selecting the Table or Endpoint you are interested in and then configure the parameters. This will generate a query that we will use in Informatica to retrieve data from OneDrive. Hit OK button to use this query in the next step.

   SELECT * FROM Files

   
   Some parameters configured in this window will be passed to the OneDrive API, e.g. filtering parameters. It means that filtering will be done on the server side (instead of the client side), enabling you to get only the meaningful data much faster.

8. Now hit Preview Data button to preview the data using the generated SQL query. If you are satisfied with the result, use this query in Informatica:

   

   ZappySys API Driver - OneDrive

   OneDrive Connector can be used to integrate OneDrive and your defined data source, e.g. Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Excel, Power BI, etc. Get, write, delete OneDrive data in a few clicks!

   OnedriveDSN

   SELECT * FROM Files

   
   You can also access data quickly from the tables dropdown by selecting <Select table>.
   A WHERE clause, LIMIT keyword will be performed on the client side, meaning that the whole result set will be retrieved from the OneDrive API first, and only then the filtering will be applied to the data. If possible, it is recommended to use parameters in Query Builder to filter the data on the server side (in OneDrive servers).

9. Click OK to finish creating the data source.

8. That’s it, we are now ready to perform similar steps to import Target table structure in the next section.

Import SQL Server Target Definition in Informatica Mapping Designer

Now let’s look at steps to import Target table definition (very similar to the previous section, the only difference is this time we will select DSN which points to SQL Server or any other Target Server).

Now lets look at steps to import target table definition in Informatica mapping designer.

1. In the Mapping Designer, Click on Target Icon to switch to Target designer
2. From the top menu > Click on Targets > Import from Database …
3. Select DSN for your Target server (if DSN doesn’t exist then create one by opening ODBC Sources just like we created one for JSON API source (see the previous section about creating DSN).

Create Source to Target Mapping in Informatica (Import JSON to SQL Server)

Once you have imported source and target table definition, we can create mapping and transformation to load data from JSON to SQL Table.

1. First open Mapping Designer (Click [D] icon)
2. Drag JSON Source from sources folder
3. Drag SQL Table from Targets folder
4. Map desired columns from Source to target
   

   Define Source to Target mapping for OneDrive to SQL Table load in Informatica

5. For certain columns you may have to do datatype conversion. For example to convert OrderDate form nstring to DataTime you have to use Expression Transform like below and map it to target. In below example, our JSON has date format (e.g. 2018-01-31 12:00:00 AM ). To import this to DateTime field in SQL server we need to convert it using TO_DATE function. Use double quotes around T to make this format working.
   

   TO_DATE(OrderDate,'YYYY-MM-DD H12:MI:SS AM')
   
    --For ISO use below way
           TO_DATE(OrderDate,'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS')
