Enact Data Receiver¶

The enact data receiver connects to the Enact API for InfinityQS reads quality data available.

Example:

{
  "data_receiver": [
    {
      "data_receiver_name": "enact_receiver0",
      "protocol": "enact",

      "connections": [{
           "refresh_token": "...",
           "client_id": "...",
           "client_secret": "...",
           "subscription_key": "...",
      }],

      "streams": []
    }
  ]
}

Acquiring a refresh key is a crucial step in setting up the Enact REST API Receiver; annoyingly the provider is currently using a browser-redirect heavy workflow. In practice, that means you almost certainly want to use postman to fetch a refresh token: https://www.postman.com/downloads/

You can use the ‘get new authorization token’ button in the ‘Authorization’ header to get a new refresh token. This process needs to be done every 30 days when the existing refresh token expires.

Configuration:

Required and optional properties that can be configured for an Enact receiver:

data_receiver_name: Unique name of the data receiver. This name will be used to track the progress state of the data stream.
protocol: Protocol to be used. Should be set to enact.
asset_tag: Column to use as the asset tag when not specified in the streams section.
default_stream_type: Stream type to used when not specified in the streams section.
connections: How to connect to the REST API. A connection has the following configurable settings:
- refresh_token: Refresh token from the Enact API’s auth flow.
- client_id: Client ID from the Enact API’s auth flow.
- client_secret: Client secret from the Enact API’s auth flow.
- subscription_key: Subscription key from the Enact API’s auth flow.
streams: List of data streams; this receiver ignores this field and fetches all data regardless of configuration, however for technical reasons the field must be present and be a list. An empty list is likely the best thing to put here, otherwise the schema below must be respected:
- stream_type: Stream type – copied verbatim by receiver.
- asset: Asset – copied verbatim by receiver.
