Hi, I’m new here and am wondering if we can use meltano for data integrations of our clients in our data system (white-labeling). So we want to integrate meltano in our workflow. Since I know it doesn’t have APIs available now, I’m wondering what is the best practice with the CLI for my usecase?

@takan Hey Takan! There’s an issue about an official API (https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/issues/2813), but right now the best practice would be to have your application code directly shell out to

meltano elt

and configure the tap and targets using environment variables. Is that an option?

@douwe_maan Thanks! Okay, yeah APIs will definitely be useful for certain scenarios. I’ll try out the shell out method for now 🙂

Sounds good, please let us know if you have any questions!
