## Streams

| Stream name | API endpoint | API docs | Notes |
| :---------- | :---------------- | :--------------------------------------------- | :---- |
| forms | /user/forms | https://api.jotform.com/docs/#user-forms | Replication for this stream is opt-in. See instructions [below](#configuring-incremental-replication). |
| questions | /form/{form_id}/questions | https://api.jotform.com/docs/#form-id-questions | |
| submissions | /user/submissions | https://api.jotform.com/docs/#user-submissions | Replication for this stream is opt-in. See instructions [below](#configuring-incremental-replication). |
| reports | /user/reports | https://api.jotform.com/docs/#user-reports | |
| user_history | /user/history | https://api.jotform.com/docs/#user-history | |

### Configuring incremental replication

By default, the `forms` and `submissions` stream are synced with `FULL_TABLE` replication. Incremental replication can be enabled by setting the replication metadata in the stream's entry in the catalog file:

* `replication_method`: set to`INCREMENTAL`
* `replication_key` set to `created_at` or `updated_at`. The former will omit updated submissions, while the latter will omit new submissions.

For example, to enable incremental replication for the `submissions` stream:

```json
{
"streams": [
{
"tap_stream_id": "submissions",
"stream": "submissions",
"replication_method": "INCREMENTAL",
"replication_key": "updated_at",
}
]
}
```

### Source Authentication and Authorization

To generate an API key, follow the instructions in https://api.jotform.com/docs/#gettingstarted.

## Usage

You can easily run `tap-jotform` by itself or in a pipeline using [Meltano](https://meltano.com/).

### Executing the Tap Directly

```bash
tap-jotform --version
tap-jotform --help
tap-jotform --config CONFIG --discover > ./catalog.json
```

## Developer Resources

### Initialize your Development Environment

```bash
pipx install poetry
poetry install
```

### Create and Run Tests

Create tests within the `tap_jotform/tests` subfolder and
then run:

```bash
poetry run pytest
```

You can also test the `tap-jotform` CLI interface directly using `poetry run`:

```bash
poetry run tap-jotform --help
```

### Testing with [Meltano](https://www.meltano.com)

_**Note:** This tap will work in any Singer environment and does not require Meltano.
Examples here are for convenience and to streamline end-to-end orchestration scenarios._

Your project comes with a custom `meltano.yml` project file already created. Open the `meltano.yml` and follow any _"TODO"_ items listed in
the file.

Next, install Meltano (if you haven't already) and any needed plugins:

```bash
# Install meltano
pipx install meltano
# Initialize meltano within this directory
cd tap-jotform
meltano install
```

Now you can test and orchestrate using Meltano:

```bash
# Test invocation:
meltano invoke tap-jotform --version
# OR run a test `elt` pipeline:
meltano elt tap-jotform target-jsonl
```

### SDK Dev Guide

See the [dev guide](https://sdk.meltano.com/en/latest/dev_guide.html) for more instructions on how to use the SDK to
develop your own taps and targets.
