Let me start out by saying I am a SQL Server Database expert, not a coder so making API calls is certainly not an everyday task for me.
Having said that, I am trying to use the Azure Data Factory's data copy tool to import data from Clio to an Azure SQL Server database. I have had some limited success, data is copied over using the API and inserted into the target table but paging really seems to be an issue. I am testing this with the billable_clients call and the first 25 records with the fields I specify are inserted along with the paging record. As I understand, the billable_clients call is eligible for bulk actions which may be the solution, although I've not been able to figure out how it works. The url I am calling is below:
https://app.clio.com/api/v4/billable_clients.json?fields=id,unbilled_hours,name
Using Postman I've tried to make the same call while adding X-BULK true to the header but that returns no results. If there is anyone that can shed some light on how the X-BULK header flag is used when making a call, or if anyone has any experience loading Clio data into a SQL Server database I'd love some feedback on your methods.
If any additional information regarding my attempts or setup would help please let me know.
Thanks!
you need to download the json files with Bulk API and then update them in DB.
It isn't possible to directly insert the data
