The tap is built with the Meltano Tap SDK.

pipx install git+https://github.com/birdiecare/tap-thinkific.git

Meltano

You can install this tap using Meltano via MeltanoHub.

Configuration

The tap takes three configuration inputs:

    "subdomain": "<your_thinkific_subdomain",
    "start_date": "2022-01-18T00:00:00Z"
