Source Authentication and Authorization

2. Use the app's consumer key to make a request to the /v3/oauth/request with ru endpoint to get a request_token (code).
3. Use the request_token to get authorization from the Pocket user: https://getpocket.com/auth/authorize?request_token=<request_token>&redirect_uri=<redirect_uri>.
4. Make a request to the /v3/oauth/authorize endpoint to get an access_token.
5. Put consumer_key and access_token in a JSON config file.

Testing with Meltano

Note: This tap will work in any Singer environment and does not require Meltano. Examples here are for convenience and to streamline end-to-end orchestration scenarios.

Your project comes with a custom meltano.yml project file already created. Go ahead and install Meltano if you haven't already.

1. Install all plugins

   meltano install

2. Check that the extractor is working properly

   meltano invoke tap-getpocket --version

3. Execute an ELT pipeline

   meltano run tap-getpocket target-jsonl
