Other: Ability to use filters when calling fivetran API endpoints

Answered
Tarek Elqoulaq User

Looking for support in filtering when making calls to the Fivetran APIs. Specifically querying groups by name and querying webhooks by group_id are our actual pain point right now.

Referring to endpoints like these:

https://fivetran.com/docs/rest-api/groups#listallgroups

https://fivetran.com/docs/rest-api/interactive-api-reference/webhooks/list-all-webhooks

 

You can refer to Stripes search API endpoint as an example for what we're looking for here: https://docs.stripe.com/api/products/search

    Hey Tarek,

    Thanks for writing in! Can you describe the pain point in a bit more detail? When do you want to filter a list vs query the details for a specific object? What is the context for it?

    Hi Jimmy,

    For context we have hundreds of different tenants within our data warehouse, each one with unique destinations. So there will be a number of connecters (i.e. "id": "projected_sickle") all associated with the same destination (i.e. "group_id": "linseeds_wannabe").

    This request specifically came about in relation to webhook issues we had where our BE engineer was checking to see if the webhook existed before creating a new one. This required him to loop through a large list and that was timing out the request.

    So ideally being able to check to see if a webhook belongs to a specific group_id would be more efficient here. Hope this helps clarify!
