Hi, I'm currently looking at generating a custom connector using a http POST with a payload. I've been following the example set in https://docs.meltano.com/tutorials/custom-extractor/. However, this only relates to an http GET. Could let me know the best practice for a 'tap.py' and/or 'streams.py' implementation. Thank you very much for your support.

Set the stream

http_method

to

POST

https://sdk.meltano.com/en/v0.38.0/classes/singer_sdk.RESTStream.html#singer_sdk.RESTStream.rest_method and implement

prepare_request_payload

https://sdk.meltano.com/en/v0.38.0/classes/singer_sdk.RESTStream.html#singer_sdk.RESTStream.prepare_request_payload

Thank you very much for the prompt reply

I don't know of any off the top of my head. It would probably look like

streams.py

class MyStream(TapStream):
    http_method = "POST"

    def prepare_request_payload(self, context, next_page_token):
        return {
            "param1": "value",  // hard-coded
            "param2": self.config.get("setting"),  // from config
            "param3": next_page_token,  // from pagination
        }

THis is great thank you
