Is there a method for creating a tap against sources that take time to get started. eg Tap starting would make a request to an API that returns a job number to observe… then polls the observe status at interval before fetching the real data and outputing records?

Hi @jon_simpson! Not really, with the existing API in the Singer SDK, you’d have to probably override the get_records method. We don’t have a feature request for this pattern, so also feel free to file one.
