The Peliqan Partner API is used by SaaS software companies and ISVs to integrate data solutions running on the Peliqan platform into their own platform. The Partner API is used to automate the provisioning and hydration of end-customer tenants on Peliqan.io. With hydration we mean automatically adding data source, creating data pipelines, enabling automations etc. inside the tenant of the end-customer in Peliqan. There are 2 options:
  1. Peliqan REST API for integration with external systems (e.g. a portal), see below
  2. Peliqan pq functions to use in scripts running on Peliqan in the partner account. More info: pq Functions for partners

Naming conventions

  • Partner: SaaS company or ISV
  • End-customer: the customer of the Partner
  • Partner account: the Peliqan.io account to which the Partner logs in, also called the “parent” account
  • End-customer account: a Peliqan account for the End-customer, als referred to as a “sub account”

Peliqan Partner REST API

Base URL

The base URL depends on your region, e.g. for the EU region, the base URL is: https://app.eu.peliqan.io

Authentication

Use the JWT token from your Partner account, to create new end-customer accounts and to fetch a JWT token per end-customer tenant. All other API calls (adding a connection inside a sub account etc.) will happen with the JWT token of the sub account.

List and create end-customer accounts

List sub accounts: GET /api/partner/sub-accounts/ Authorization: JWT partner_token Create a sub account: POST /api/partner/sub-account/ Authorization: JWT partner_token Example body payload:

Get JWT token for end-customer account

For server-side implementations, a non-expiring JWT token can be requested: Using the id of the sub account: GET /api/partner/sub-account/identity/?account_id=1234 Using the external_id: GET /api/partner/sub-account/identity?external_id=wood_123 Authorization: JWT partner_token For client-side implementations (in JS), a short lived JWT token can be requested: Using the id of the sub account: POST /api/partner/sub-account/integrate/?account_id=1234 Using the external_id: POST /api/partner/sub-account/integrate/?external_id=wood_123 Authorization: JWT partner_token

Get connector definitions

GET /api/servertypes Authorization: JWT partner_token
The response includes the “connect form” for each connector (see ui.fields in the response). This is needed to know which params are required to add a connection, e.g. for Hubspot or Pipedrive. The response also includes a list of available tables (see available_streams) which can be used in the setting selected_tables when creating a new connection. Full API documentation

Add a connection

Get the “connect form” first (see above), and include the required connection fields when creating a new connection on behalve of an end-customer. A connection is called a “server” in the API. API endpoint: POST /api/servers Authorization: JWT end_customer_token Full API documentation

Connector with API key or login/password as credentials

Body (assuming the required fields for the connect form are “login”, “password”, “param1” and “param2”):
The property selected_tables is optional. If omitted, all tables will be included. Use available_streams from the connector definition (see above) to get a list of available tables that can be included here.

Connector with oAuth2 flow

Initiate oAuth flow For connectors that use an oAuth flow, the response of POST /api/servers will contain a redirect URL. Example redirect URL provided to the partner:
The redirect URL (auth_uri) needs to be opened from the Partner UI, in a new browser tab or window, so that the end-customer can complete the oAuth flow. Make sure to provide a “Powered by Peliqan” message prior to the oAuth flow, because the user will be asked to allow Peliqan to access their data (unless you have configured a private oAuth app). Continue after redirect From the Partner UI, you need to listen to the window on close event, and when this event occurs, make an API call to Peliqan to check if the connection was added successfully: GET /api/server/connection_id Authorization: JWT end_customer_token

List connections

GET /api/servers Authorization: JWT end_customer_token

Get status of a connection

GET /api/server/connection_id Authorization: JWT end_customer_token

Get logs of a connection

GET /api/server/connection_id/logs Authorization: JWT end_customer_token

Create a query table in an end-customer account

POST /table Authorization: JWT end_customer_token Click here for the full API documentation.

Add a scheduled Python script in an end-customer account

POST /interface Authorization: JWT end_customer_token

Running a ELT pipeline in an end-customer account

GET https://app.eu.peliqan.io/api/servers/connection_id/syncdb Authorization: JWT end_customer_token Optional querystring parameters:
  • tables: comma-separated list of tables to sync
  • is_async: boolean (true or false)
    • is_async=true: Asynchronous run, API call will not wait for pipeline to complete
    • is_async=false: API call will wait for pipeline to complete (only use for short-running pipelines)
  • pipeline: boolean (true or false)
    • pipeline=true: run a sync pipeline for a SaaS source (use this to run an ELT pipeline)
    • pipeline=false: discover tables, schemas, tables in a connected database
  • skip_refresh: boolean (true or false)
    • skip_refresh=true: do not rediscover tables in target dchema
    • skip_refresh=false: do a rediscover of target schema
Example running an ELT pipeline for one table: GET https://app.eu.peliqan.io/api/servers/connection_id/syncdb?tables=table_name&is_async=true&pipeline=true&skip_refresh=true Authorization: JWT end_customer_token

Adding a new table to an existing connection in an end-customer account

1. Enable the new table for the connection A connection is called a “server” in the API. Get the details of the existing connection (server) to retrieve selected_tables: GET https://app.eu.peliqan.io/api/servers/connection_id/ Authorization: JWT end_customer_token See the section selected_tables from the response. Example:
Add the new table to selected_tables and update the connection (server): PATCH https://app.eu.peliqan.io/api/servers/connection_id/ Authorization: JWT end_customer_token Body:
2. Run a discovery for the new table POST https://app.eu.peliqan.io/api/servers/connection_id/pipeline/discover/ Authorization: JWT end_customer_token Body:
3. Run the ELT pipeline for the new table GET https://app.eu.peliqan.io/api/servers/connection_id/syncdb?tables=new_table_name&is_async=true&pipeline=true&skip_refresh=true Authorization: JWT end_customer_token
