Calling the import.io dataset created using the "Chain API" via REST

Question

I created a dataset using 2 extractors: an “many rows , which is then called ” extractor with only one output using “URLs from another API / Chain API” . This gave me the data I needed, and I saved it as a dataset. Although the dataset works, I'm lost as to how to use the REST API to get it?

I know that on the data set page there was an “integrate” button that would describe how to use an external client library to receive data, but if it is not available, I don’t know which API to use and how to use it?

I tried using the "Request Methods" GET call "/ store / connector / {id} / _ query , but this requires an " id " , which I don’t know where to find? I tried to use the value " _ connectorVersionGuid " when I saved the dataset is like JSON, but that didn't work.

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Aj

Francesco is here from import.io. First of all, thanks for the wording of the question so clearly.

I have bad news and good news.

The bad news is that at the moment, Bulk and Chain are only available as a function of the client side, so it is actually impossible to call a chain with one REST call.

The good news is that we are actually working on it :) Bulk as an API is actually in beta testing, and I hope to have a chain as an API.

The workaround that I sometimes use myself is to use external integration as a service platform, for example Node -RED ( http://nodered.org/ ) or built.io ( https://www.built.io/ )
