How to write data to API (POST) in Informatica (Call JSON / XML SOAP Service)

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 Smartsheet 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 Smartsheet / 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 Smartsheet / 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 Smartsheet 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)

Getting Started – Import Smartsheet to SQL Server in Informatica

Now let’s get started. For example purpose, we will read data from Smartsheet 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 Smartsheet using Informatica we first need to create a DSN (Data Source) which will access data from Smartsheet. We will later be able to read data using Informatica. Perform these steps:

Install ZappySys ODBC PowerPack.
Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):
Create a User Data Source (User DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

ZappySys API Driver

You should create a System DSN (instead of a User DSN) if the client application is launched under a Windows System Account, e.g. as a Windows Service. If the client application is 32-bit (x86) running with a System DSN, use ODBC Data Sources (32-bit) instead of the 64-bit version.
When the Configuration window appears give your data source a name if you haven't done that already, then select "Smartsheet" from the list of Popular Connectors. If "Smartsheet" 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:

SmartsheetDSN

Smartsheet

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.

OAuth (Dynamic Token) [OAuth]

Steps to get Smartsheet Credentials

OAuth Walkthrough

Apps connect to Smartsheet using OAuth 2.0 to authenticate and authorize users. If you are building an app, this documentation will walk you through the steps you need to authenticate your users. The Smartsheet SDKs contain APIs for OAuth 2.0.

NOTE: For users of apps like AWS AppFabric, you will need a Tenant ID. You can find your Tenant ID in Admin Center under Security & Controls. There is a Smartsheet Tenant ID pane.

First Steps

Before you can start using OAuth 2.0 with your app, Smartsheet needs the following information:

You must register with Smartsheet to get a developer account*. The developer account gives you access to "Developer Tools", which is where you manage your app.
In "Developer Tools", complete any required fields in your developer profile.
In "Developer Tools", register your app so Smartsheet can assign a client Id and a client secret to the app.
Review the list of access scopes. You'll need to choose which ones your app needs to get to a user's Smartsheet data, and then ask the user to consent to that access.
After you've worked through these steps, you'll be ready to implement the OAuth Flow.

Open Developer Tools

Log in to Smartsheet with your developer account.
Click the "Account" button in the lower-left corner of your Smartsheet screen, and then click "Developer Tools".
Do one of the following:
- If you need to register an app, click "Create New App".
- If you need to manage an app, click "view/edit" for the app.

Register Your App Using Developer Tools

Log in to Smartsheet with your developer account.
Click the "Account" button in the upper-right corner of your Smartsheet screen, and then click "Developer Tools".
In the "Create New App" form, provide the following information:
- Name: the name the user sees to identify your app
- Description: a brief description intended for the user
- URL: the URL to launch your app, or the landing page if not a web app
- Contact/support: support information for the user
- Redirect URL: also known as a callback URL. The URL within your application that will receive the OAuth 2.0 credentials After you click "Save", Smartsheet assigns a client Id and secret to your app. Make a note of these Ids for the next steps; however, you can always look them up again in "Developer Tools".

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

Static Token [Http]

Steps to get Smartsheet Credentials

Raw Token Requests

If you want to get started quickly, or are developing a standalone application that can run with your credentials, follow these instructions:

Click the "Account" button in the lower-left corner of the Smartsheet screen, and then click "Personal Settings".
Click the "API Access" tab.
Click the "Generate new access token" button to obtain an access token.

The access token must be sent with every API call in an HTTP authorization header (except for therequests to Get Access Token or Refresh Access Token). Once you have an access token, include it in the Authorization header for every request you make:

Authorization: Bearer JKlMNOpQ12RStUVwxYZAbcde3F5g6hijklM789

The header name is Authorization and the value of the header is Bearer JKlMNOpQ12RStUVwxYZAbcde3F5g6hijklM789. Since the access token is being transmitted in clear text, all API calls are done over HTTPS.

NOTE: A best practice is to use a shared account, such as ticket-processor@example.com, rather than your individual work account.

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

SmartsheetDSN

Create Connection in Informatica Workflow Designer

Once you create DSN using API Driver our next step is to define a connection for Smartsheet source in Informatica PowerCenter Workflow designer.

Open Workflow designer [W] icon
Goto Connections > Relational

Create a new connection for Smartsheet in Informatica
Click New and select ODBC

Select ODBC connection type in Informatica (Using ZappySys API ODBC DSN)
Now on the ODBC connection setup enter connection name, some fake userid / password (this is a required field but its ignored by JSON Driver)
In the Connection String field enter the exact same name of DSN (Open ODBC Data Sources UI to confirm)

Configure Smartsheet connection in Informatica for REST API – Using ZappySys API Driver
Click OK to close the connection properties.

That’s it. Now we ready to move to next step (define source and target in Mapping Designer).

Import Smartsheet Source Definition in Informatica Mapping Designer

Now let’s look at steps to import Smartsheet table definition.

Open Informatica Mapping Designer (Click [D] icon)
Click on Source Icon to switch to Sources designer
From the top menu > Click on Sources > Import from Database …

Import Smartsheet Source definition in Informatica Mapping Designer (JSON file or REST API)
Select ODBC data source from the dropdown (Find out DSN we created earlier to use as JSON Source)
Click Connect button to get a list of tables. Any array node is listed as a table. Also, you will see array node with parent columns (e.g. value_with_parent). You may get some warning like below but they are harmless so just ignore by clicking OK.

—————————————————-
Using EXTODBC.DLL to support ZappySys JSON Driver. For native support of ZappySys JSON Driver make an entry in the .ini file.

Select Smartsheet Source Table in Informatica Mapping Designer (JSON file or REST API)
Select Table you wish to get (You can filter rows by custom SQL query. We will see later in this article how to do)
Optionally once table structure is imported you can rename it

Rename imported table definition in Informatica Source Designer
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.

In the Mapping Designer, Click on Target Icon to switch to Target designer
From the top menu > Click on Targets > Import from Database …
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).

Import target Table Definition in informatica
Enter your userid , password and Schema name and click Connect to see tables
Select Table name to and click OK import definition.

Import Target SQL Table Definition in Informatica – Select table from the list

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.

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

Define Source to Target mapping for Smartsheet to SQL Table load in Informatica
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')
```
Informatica Smartsheet to SQL Table Mapping – Datatype conversion (nstring to datetime)
Once you done with mapping save your mapping and name it (i.e. m_Api_To_SQL)
Now lets move to next section to create workflow.

Create Workflow and Session in Informatica

Now the final step is to create a new workflow. Perform following steps to create workflow which with a session task to import JSON data into SQL table.

Open workflow designer by click [W] icon.
Launch new workflow creation wizard by click Workflow top menu > Wizard
name your workflow (e.g. wf_Api_Tp_Sql_Table_Import)

Creating Informatica Workflow – Wizard UI (Import Smartsheet data to SQL Table)
Finish the wizard and double-click the Session to edit some default properties.
First change Error settings so we fail session on error (By default its always green)

Fail Informatica Session on error (Smartsheet data to SQL Load)
Select JSON connection for Source

Select Smartsheet Source Connection in Informatica – Load Smartsheet data to SQL Table
Change default Source query if needed. You can pass parameters to this query to make it dynamic.

Modify Smartsheet Source SQL query – Pass parameters, change URL, set filter etc
Select Target connection of SQL Target Table

Select SQL Target Connection in Informatica – Load Smartsheet data to SQL Table
Save workflow
That’s it. We ready to run our first workflow to load JSON data to SQL.

Execute Workflow and Validate Log in Informatica

Now once you are done with your workflow, execute it to see the log.

Create Custom Stored Procedure in ZappySys Driver

You can create procedures to encapsulate custom logic and then only pass handful parameters rather than long SQL to execute your API call.

Steps to create Custom Stored Procedure in ZappySys Driver. You can insert Placeholders anywhere inside Procedure Body. Read more about placeholders here

Go to Custom Objects Tab and Click on Add button and Select Add Procedure:
Enter the desired Procedure name and click on OK:
Select the created Stored Procedure and write the your desired stored procedure and Save it and it will create the custom stored procedure in the ZappySys Driver:
Here is an example stored procedure for ZappySys Driver. You can insert Placeholders anywhere inside Procedure Body. Read more about placeholders here
```
CREATE PROCEDURE [usp_get_orders]
    @fromdate = '<<yyyy-MM-dd,FUN_TODAY>>'
 AS
    SELECT * FROM Orders where OrderDate >= '<@fromdate>';
```
That's it now go to Preview Tab and Execute your Stored Procedure using Exec Command. In this example it will extract the orders from the date 1996-01-01:
```
Exec usp_get_orders '1996-01-01';
```
Let's generate the SQL Server Query Code to make the API call using stored procedure. Go to Code Generator Tab, select language as SQL Server and click on Generate button the generate the code.
As we already created the linked server for this Data Source, in that you just need to copy the Select Query and need to use the linked server name which we have apply on the place of [MY_API_SERVICE] placeholder.
```
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([MY_API_SERVICE], 'EXEC usp_get_orders @fromdate=''1996-07-30''')
```
Now go to SQL served and execute that query and it will make the API call using stored procedure and provide you the response.

Create Custom Virtual Table in ZappySys Driver

ZappySys API Drivers support flexible Query language so you can override Default Properties you configured on Data Source such as URL, Body. This way you don't have to create multiple Data Sources if you like to read data from multiple EndPoints. However not every application support supplying custom SQL to driver so you can only select Table from list returned from driver.

If you're dealing with Microsoft Access and need to import data from an SQL query, it's important to note that Access doesn't allow direct import of SQL queries. Instead, you can create custom objects (Virtual Tables) to handle the import process.

Many applications like MS Access, Informatica Designer wont give you option to specify custom SQL when you import Objects. In such case Virtual Table is very useful. You can create many Virtual Tables on the same Data Source (e.g. If you have 50 URLs with slight variations you can create virtual tables with just URL as Parameter setting.

Go to Custom Objects Tab and Click on Add button and Select Add Table:
Enter the desired Table name and click on OK:
And it will open the New Query Window Click on Cancel to close that window and go to Custom Objects Tab.
Select the created table, Select Text Type AS SQL and write the your desired SQL Query and Save it and it will create the custom table in the ZappySys Driver:
Here is an example SQL query for ZappySys Driver. You can insert Placeholders also. Read more about placeholders here
```
SELECT
  "ShipCountry",
  "OrderID",
  "CustomerID",
  "EmployeeID",
  "OrderDate",
  "RequiredDate",
  "ShippedDate",
  "ShipVia",
  "Freight",
  "ShipName",
  "ShipAddress",
  "ShipCity",
  "ShipRegion",
  "ShipPostalCode"
FROM "Orders"
Where "ShipCountry"='USA'
```
That's it now go to Preview Tab and Execute your custom virtual table query. In this example it will extract the orders for the USA Shipping Country only:
```
SELECT * FROM "vt__usa_orders_only"
```
Let's generate the SQL Server Query Code to make the API call using stored procedure. Go to Code Generator Tab, select language as SQL Server and click on Generate button the generate the code.
As we already created the linked server for this Data Source, in that you just need to copy the Select Query and need to use the linked server name which we have apply on the place of [MY_API_SERVICE] placeholder.
```
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([MY_API_SERVICE], 'EXEC [usp_get_orders] ''1996-01-01''')
```
Now go to SQL served and execute that query and it will make the API call using stored procedure and provide you the response.

On the other hand raw upload allows only single file upload (without any key/value) ==== Raw Upload (Content-Type: application/octet-stream) ===== To upload single file in raw mode check this option and specify full file path starting with @ sign in the Body (e.g. @c:\data\myfile.zip ) ==== Form-Data / Multipart Upload (Content-Type: multipart/form-data) ===== To treat your Request data as multi part fields you must specify key/value pairs separated by new lines into RequestData field (i.e. Body). Each key value pair is entered on new-line and key/value are separated using equal sign (=). Preceding and trailing spaces are ignored also blank lines are ignored. If field value has some any special character(s) then use escape sequence (e.g. For NewLine: \r\n, For Tab: \t, For at (@): \@). When value of any field starts with at sign (@) its automatically treated as File you want to upload. By default file content type is determined based on extension however you can supply content type manually for any field using this way [ YourFileFieldName.Content-Type=some-content-type ]. By default File Upload Field always includes Content-Type in the request (non file fields do not have content-type by default unless you supply manually). For some reason if you dont want to use Content-Type header in your request then supply blank Content-Type to exclude this header altogather [e.g. SomeFieldName.Content-Type= ]. In below example we have supplied Content-Type for file2 and SomeField1, all other fields are using default content-type. See below Example of uploading multiple files along with additional fields. If some API requires you to pass Content-Type: multipart/form-data rather than multipart/form-data then manually set Request Header => Content-Type: multipart/mixed (it must starts with multipart/ else will be ignored). file1=@c:\data\Myfile1.txt file2=@c:\data\Myfile2.json file2.Content-Type=application/json SomeField1=aaaaaaa SomeField1.Content-Type=text/plain SomeField2=12345 SomeFieldWithNewLineAndTab=This is line1\r\nThis is line2\r\nThis is \ttab \ttab \ttab SomeFieldStartingWithAtSign=\@MyTwitterHandle
Filter	Enter filter to extract array from response. Example: $.rows[] --OR-- $.customers[].orders[*]. Check your response document and find out hierarchy you like to extract
Headers	Headers for Request. To enter multiple headers use double pipe or new line after each {header-name}:{value} pair
