I need to make five Api requests with 5 different id's in the request body using httpstream. Each request can only use one id
k
Based on the information provided in the extracts, you can achieve this by using the
HttpStream
class in Airbyte's Python CDK. You can create a custom stream where you initialize the stream with a list of IDs and then use each ID for each API request. Here's a simplified example based on the code provided in the [forum post](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/3383):
Copy code
python class CustomStream(HttpStream):     url_base = "Your_API_URL"     primary_key = "id"      def __init__(self, ids: list, **kwargs):         super().__init__(**kwargs)         self.ids = ids      def next_page_token(self, response: requests.Response) -> Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]:         if not self.ids:             return None         else:             return {"next": self.ids.pop(0)}      def path(self, **kwargs) -> str:         return f"items/{self.ids[0]}"      def parse_response(self,                         response: requests.Response,                         stream_state: Mapping[str, Any],                          stream_slice: Mapping[str, Any] = None,                          next_page_token: Mapping[str, Any] = None,) -> Iterable[Mapping]:         if response.status_code == 200:             return [response.json()]         elif response.status_code == 404:             return []
In this example,
CustomStream
is initialized with a list of IDs. The
next_page_token
method pops an ID from the list for each API request until the list is empty. The
path
method uses the first ID in the list for the API request. The
parse_response
method parses the API response. Please note that this is a simplified example and you might need to adjust it according to your specific API and requirements. For more information on how to use the
HttpStream
class, you can refer to the [Airbyte's Python CDK documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/cdk-python/http-streams).

@kapa.ai Where do I set the five id's? They always stay the same
@kapa.ai Now I get five Results but airbyte tries to make an api call for a sixth time which then of course runs into an error

Based on the information provided in the extracts, Airbyte's Connector Development Kit (CDK) has built-in mechanisms to handle API rate limits and errors. By default, it will conduct exponential backoff on HTTP code 429 and any 5XX exceptions, and fail after 5 tries. This is governed by the
should_retry
and the
backoff_time
methods. If you want to customize this behavior, you can override these methods. Here is an [example](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/airbyte-integrations/connectors/source-slack/source_slack/source.py#L72) from the Slack API. However, it's important to note that Airbyte will always attempt to make as many requests as possible and only slow down if there are errors. It is not currently possible to specify a rate limit Airbyte should adhere to when making requests. If you're encountering issues with a specific connector, it would be helpful to check the specific documentation for that connector, as some have specific rate limits or performance considerations. For example, [Weatherstack](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/weatherstack) allows 250 calls per month, [Mailchimp](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/mailchimp) enforces a maximum of 10 simultaneous connections, and [Google Sheets](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/destinations/google-sheets) has a rate limit of 100 requests per 100 seconds per user and 500 requests per 100 seconds per project. If you continue to experience issues, you can [create an issue](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues) on the Airbyte GitHub page.

@kapa.ai now I have five different results which are new id's now i need to make 5 api calls to another path using the previous results in the new request_body

Based on the information provided in the extracts, you can use the results from the first API call as parameters in the subsequent API calls. This can be done by using the response from the first API call to dynamically generate the request body for the subsequent calls. In the context of Airbyte, you can use the
sourceId
and
destinationId
values from the first API call in the request body of the subsequent calls. Here's an example of how you might do this:
Copy code
python var client = new RestClient("<https://api.airbyte.com/v1/connections>"); var request = new RestRequest(); request.AddHeader("accept", "application/json"); request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json"); request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer {YourApiKey}"); request.AddParameter("application/json", "{\"sourceId\":\"YourSourceID\",\"destinationId\":\"YourDestinationID\",\"name\":\"AzPostgres-AzBlob2\",\"schedule\":{\"scheduleType\":\"manual\"},\"dataResidency\":\"auto\",\"namespaceDefinition\":\"destination\",\"namespaceFormat\":null,\"nonBreakingSchemaUpdatesBehavior\":\"ignore\",\"configurations\":{\"streams\":[{\"syncMode\":\"full_refresh_overwrite\",\"name\":\"YourTableName\"}]}}", ParameterType.RequestBody); var response = client.ExecutePost(request);
In this example,
YourSourceID
and
YourDestinationID
would be replaced with the IDs you received from the first API call. However, please note that the specifics of how you would do this can vary depending on the API you're working with and the programming language you're using. For more detailed information, you may want to refer to the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/connector-builder-compatibility) or the API documentation of the specific service you're working with.

@kapa.ai is there a way to do that in my current source.py using httpStreams?

A message from kapa.ai
Yes, you can achieve this by using the
HttpStream
class in your
source.py
file. You can create a new class for the second API call that inherits from
HttpStream
and uses the IDs from the first API call in the request body. Here's a simplified example based on the information provided in the extracts:
Copy code
python class Items(HttpStream):     url_base = "FOO_URL"     primary_key = "id"      def __init__(self, ids: list, **kwargs):         super().__init__(**kwargs)         self.ids = ids      def path(self, **kwargs) -> str:         return f"items/{self.ids.pop(0)}" if self.ids else None      def parse_response(self,                         response: requests.Response,                         stream_state: Mapping[str, Any],                          stream_slice: Mapping[str, Any] = None,                          next_page_token: Mapping[str, Any] = None,) -> Iterable[Mapping]:         if response.status_code == 200:             return [response.json()]         elif response.status_code == 404:             return []
In this example, the
Items
class takes a list of IDs as an argument. The
path
method uses these IDs to generate the path for the API call. If there are no more IDs left in the list, it returns
None
, which should prevent further API calls. Please note that this is a simplified example and you might need to adjust it according to your specific use case and the API you're working with. For more detailed information, you can refer to the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/cdk-python/http-streams).
