Anyone have suggestions for good free-to-use taps that do not require paid credentials on an external service?

https://hub.meltano.com/extractors/tap-openweathermap has a nice free tier.

Thanks, @taylor. These are the ones I know of: • tap-stackoverflow-sampledata - a large dataset used for some perf benchmarking • tap-spreadsheets-anywhere - if when paired with a publicly available source file • tap-rickandmorty - a simple example used in some trainings

Yeah, there’s a WIP branch in this (currently private) repo for tap-socrata. Sounds like it’s worth me spending some time in our next hack week to get it across the finish line. It definitely makes for a great entry point for Meltano and for tutorial or proof-of-concept projects: it’s real-world, usable, interesting data that’s free and open.

We just tried tap-airtable, they provide trial for free. Is it possible to tap open-source Jira projects(e.g. Apache foundation projects) for free? tap-bls requires registration but no paying it seems.

@taylor https://hub.meltano.com/extractors/tap-open-library looked promising but doesn't work. It requires keys: ['change_date', 'kind'] but config doesn't provide parameters to set Two other I've tried already

meltano config tap-open-library test

Ah, those aren’t defined in the hub metadata. You can add them locally by adding the

settings:

key in your meltano.yml (see https://docs.meltano.com/guide/configuration#overriding-discoverable-plugin-properties)
