Singer.io Integration

Singer Tap applications are ETL tools used to extract data from a source (Tap) to a different destination (Target). Often the Target is a separate database or data warehouse, where data can be combined and enriched for deeper reporting and insights. 

Ordway has developed a Tap using the Singer.io specification in order to extract data from Ordway to a number of different destinations, such as BigQuery, PostgreSQL or Google Sheets. This Tap can also be used as part of the Stitch platform. See our Stitch Integration article for more details on how to enable this integration.

Information regarding how to set up the Ordway Singer Tap can be found in the tap-ordway Github Repository.

Key Terms

Taps - Data extraction scripts are used to retrieve data and produce a JSON based output file. 

Targets - Data loading scripts use the taps and execute a specific action on the data. 

Example: Extract Ordway data via a Tap and load it via a Target into a database, Excel file, or API.
