Stripe Connector for SSIS : Make generic REST API request (bulk write)

Learn how to make generic REST API request (bulk write) using the Stripe Connector for SSIS. This connector enables you to read and write Stripe data effortlessly. Manage customers, products, subscriptions, and invoices — almost no coding required. We'll walk you through the exact setup.

Let's dive in!

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure the following prerequisites are met:

1. SSIS designer installed. Sometimes it is referred as BIDS or SSDT (download it from Microsoft).
2. Basic knowledge of SSIS package development using Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services.
3. SSIS PowerPack is installed (if you are new to SSIS PowerPack, then get started!).

Make generic REST API request in SSIS

1. Begin with opening Visual Studio and Create a New Project.

2. 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.

3. Now, Drag and Drop SSIS Data Flow Task from SSIS Toolbox. Double click on the Data Flow Task to see Data Flow designer.

   

4. Read the data from the source, using any desired source component. You can even make an API call using the ZappySys JSON/XML/API Source and read data from there. In this example, we will use an OLE DB Source component to read real-time data from a SQL Server database.

5. 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.
   

6. Select New Connection to create a new connection:
