I've got a HttpStream (Task_id) that returns 5 id's that are read as records, now I need to access them in an HttpSubStream (Result). How do I set up an HttpSubStream?

To set up an
HttpSubStream
, you need to inherit your child stream class from the
HttpSubStream
class. This class is designed to handle streams that depend on the results of another stream. Here's a basic example of how you might set up an `HttpSubStream`:
Copy code
python class TaskId(HttpStream):    ...      class Result(HttpSubStream):    ...
In this example,
TaskId
is the parent stream and
Result
is the child stream. The
HttpSubStream
class overrides the
stream_slices
method that returns a generator of all parent entries. Each record of the parent stream (
TaskId
in this case) is used as a partition for the current stream (
Result
). You can also enable caching in the parent/child relationship to optimize the data fetching process. This is especially useful when dealing with streams that depend on the results of another stream. To enable caching, you need to override the
use_cache
property of the
HttpStream
class to return
True
. Here's how you might do it:
Copy code
python class TaskId(HttpStream):    ...       @property    def use_cache(self) -> bool:    return True      class Result(HttpSubStream):    ...
In this example, the
use_cache
property is overridden in the
TaskId
stream to enable caching. For more detailed information, you can refer to the [Airbyte documentation on HTTP Streams](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/cdk-python/http-streams).

@kapa.ai right now I've got the following:
Copy code
class Result(HttpSubStream):

    url_base = None
    primary_key = None
    authenticator = None

    def __init__(self, parent_stream: HttpStream):
        self.parent = parent_stream
        self.url_base = parent_stream.url_base
        self.auth = parent_stream.auth
        self.task_ids = self.parent.read_records(SyncMode.full_refresh)

    def next_page_token(self, response: requests.Response) -> Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]:
        return None
    
    def next_page_token(self, response: requests.Response) -> Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]:
        if len(self.task_ids) == 1:
            return None
        else:
            return {"next": self.task_ids.pop(0)}

    def stream_slices(self, **kwargs) -> Iterable[Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]]:
        task_ids = self.parent.read_records(SyncMode.full_refresh)
        for task_id in task_ids:
            print(task_id)
            yield task_id

    def path(self, stream_slice: Mapping[str, Any], **kwargs) -> Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]:
        return None
    
    def request_body_json(self, stream_state: Mapping[str, Any] | None, stream_slice: Mapping[str, Any] | None = None, next_page_token: Mapping[str, Any] | None = None) -> Mapping[str, Any] | None:
        return {"auth": self.auth, "task_id": self.task_ids[0]}
        # return super().request_body_json(stream_state, stream_slice, next_page_token)

    def parse_response(self, response: requests.Response, **kwargs) -> Iterable[Mapping]:
        res = response.json()
        if response.status_code == 200:
            yield res
        elif response.status_code == 404:
            return []

Based on the code you've provided, it seems like you're trying to implement a substream in Airbyte using the Python CDK. Here are a few suggestions based on the information provided in the extracts: 1.
url_base
,
primary_key
, and
authenticator
are not required to be
None
in the
Result
class. They are inherited from the parent stream as you've done in the
__init__
method. 2. You have two
next_page_token
methods. You should only have one. The
next_page_token
method is used to handle pagination. If your API does not support pagination, you can simply return
None
. 3. In the
stream_slices
method, you're reading records from the parent stream. This is typically where you'd define the slices of data to be retrieved. For example, if you're dealing with time-series data, each slice could be a day of data. 4. The
path
method should return the API endpoint that you want to hit. It seems like you're returning
None
which might not be correct unless your API's endpoint is indeed at the base URL. 5. In the
request_body_json
method, you're returning a dictionary with "auth" and "task_id". This method is used to define any additional parameters or body data that should be sent with the HTTP request. If "auth" and "task_id" are required for your API requests, this implementation seems correct. 6. The
parse_response
method is used to parse the API response and yield each record. Your implementation seems to be correct, assuming that the entire response is a single record. Here's a general example of a substream implementation from the extracts:
Copy code
python class UserNumbers(HttpSubStream, AircallStream):     parent: object = Users     primary_key = ""      def path(         self, stream_state: Mapping[str, Any] = None, stream_slice: Mapping[str, Any] = None, next_page_token: Mapping[str, Any] = None     ) -> str:         user_id = stream_slice["id"]         return f"users/{user_id}"          def stream_slices(self, **kwargs) -> Iterable[Optional[Mapping[str, any]]]:         users_stream = Users(**kwargs)         for user in users_stream.read_records(sync_mode=SyncMode.full_refresh):             return {"user_id": user["id"]}          def next_page_token(self, response: requests.Response) -> Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]:         return None
This is a simplified example and might not cover all your use cases. You might need to adjust it based on your specific API's requirements.

@kapa.ai getting the error: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_auth_header'
k
A message from kapa.ai
The error message "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_auth_header'" typically means that the
authenticator
object you're trying to call
get_auth_header
on is
None
. In your
Result
class, you've set
authenticator
to
None
and it doesn't seem like you're setting it to an instance of an authenticator class later. In the Airbyte Python CDK, the
authenticator
is used to handle API authentication. Depending on the API you're working with, you might use one of the authenticator classes provided by the CDK, such as
TokenAuthenticator
or
BasicAuthenticator
, or you might need to implement your own. Here's an example of how you might set the
authenticator
in your
Result
class:
Copy code
python from airbyte_cdk.sources.streams.http.auth import TokenAuthenticator  class Result(HttpSubStream):      def __init__(self, parent_stream: HttpStream, token: str):         super().__init__(parent_stream)         self.authenticator = TokenAuthenticator(token=token, auth_method="Bearer")
In this example,
TokenAuthenticator
is used for an API that requires Bearer token authentication. You would need to replace
"Bearer"
and
token
with the actual auth method and token for your API. For more information on how to use the
authenticator
in Airbyte Python CDK, you can refer to the [Airbyte Documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/cdk-python/http-streams) and [Tutorials](https://airbyte.io/tutorials).

@kapa.ai getting the error:
super().__init__(**kwargs)\nTypeError: HttpSubStream.__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'parent'
k
A message from kapa.ai
The error message
TypeError: HttpSubStream.__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'parent'
indicates that the
parent
argument is missing when initializing an instance of a class that inherits from
HttpSubStream
. In the Airbyte Python CDK,
HttpSubStream
is a class used for implementing nested or sub streams. It requires a
parent
argument, which should be an instance of the parent stream. Here's an example of how you might initialize an `HttpSubStream`:
Copy code
python class UserNumbers(HttpSubStream, AircallStream):     parent: object = Users     ...
In this example,
Users
is the parent stream of
UserNumbers
. When you create an instance of
UserNumbers
, you need to pass an instance of
Users
as the
parent
argument:
Copy code
python users_stream = Users(...) user_numbers_stream = UserNumbers(parent=users_stream, ...)
Make sure you're providing the
parent
argument when you're creating an instance of your
Result
class. For more information on how to use
HttpSubStream
in Airbyte Python CDK, you can refer to the [Airbyte Documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/cdk-python/http-streams) and [Tutorials](https://airbyte.io/tutorials).

@kapa.ai Right now my code looks like this:
Copy code
class Result(HttpSubStream):

    def __init__(self, parent: HttpStream, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        self.parent = parent
Copy code
class SourcePwExportSegment(AbstractSource):

    def streams(self, config: Mapping[str, Any]) -> List[Stream]:
        task_id_stream = Task_id(config = config)
        return [task_id_stream, Result(parent = task_id_stream)]
Copy code
class Task_id(HttpStream):

    def __init__(self, config: Mapping[str, Any], **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)

A message from kapa.ai
Your code seems to be mostly correct, but there are a few things you might want to consider: 1. In your
Result
class, you're correctly passing the
parent
argument to the
__init__
method. However, you're calling
super().__init__(**kwargs)
before setting
self.parent = parent
. This means that the
parent
argument is not being passed to the
HttpSubStream
initializer. You might want to change the order of these lines:
Copy code
python     class Result(HttpSubStream):         def __init__(self, parent: HttpStream, **kwargs):             self.parent = parent             super().__init__(parent, **kwargs)
2. In your
SourcePwExportSegment
class, you're correctly creating instances of
Task_id
and
Result
in the
streams
method. Just make sure that the
config
argument is being correctly passed to the
Task_id
initializer. 3. In your
Task_id
class, you're correctly calling
super().__init__(**kwargs)
in the
__init__
method. However, you're not doing anything with the
config
argument. If
config
contains important configuration data, you should store it in an instance variable:
Copy code
python     class Task_id(HttpStream):         def __init__(self, config: Mapping[str, Any], **kwargs):             super().__init__(**kwargs)             self.config = config
Remember that these are just suggestions based on the code you've provided. You might need to adjust your code based on your specific use case and the API you're working with.
