If your preferred dashboarding tool isn't listed, you can output the data using an HTTP call. This will produce data in CSV or JSON format, which most apps can easily consume.
With this destination, Dataddo stores the flow's data and REST endpoint pulls it in for reporting.
Authorize Connection to REST endpoint
Authorize the connection so Dataddo can expose the data to REST endpoint:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| A name for this authorizer in Dataddo | A label so you can recognize the connection later. |
| Dataddo token | Select the dataddo token to be used for this authorizer. This token will be used when querying Dataddo API. |
Dataddo validates the connection when you save it.
Create a REST endpoint Destination
Go to Destinations, click Create Destination, and select REST endpoint. Give the destination a name, choose the authorizer, and click Save.
Connect REST endpoint to Dataddo
Dataddo keeps the flow's data ready for REST endpoint to read. In REST endpoint, add a new data source that points to the Dataddo destination you created, using the credentials from the authorizer above. REST endpoint then loads the data and refreshes it on its own schedule.
How to Create a Flow to REST endpoint
- Go to Flows and click Create Flow.
- Add one or more sources.
- Add REST endpoint as the destination and pick the authorizer.
- Set the schedule and click Save.
- Open REST endpoint and connect to the data as described above.
Troubleshooting
REST endpoint shows no data
The flow has not run yet, or REST endpoint points at the wrong connection. Run the flow once, then confirm the connection details in REST endpoint match the authorizer.
Cannot connect from REST endpoint
Reauthorize the connection in Dataddo and re-enter the credentials in REST endpoint.
