### Source Authentication and Authorization

See the [API docs](https://docs.getcensus.com/basics/api#getting-api-access).

## Usage

You can easily run `tap-getcensus` by itself or in a pipeline using [Meltano](https://meltano.com/).

### Executing the Tap Directly

```bash
tap-getcensus --version
tap-getcensus --help
tap-getcensus --config CONFIG --discover > ./catalog.json
```

## Developer Resources

### Initialize your Development Environment

```bash
pipx install poetry
poetry install
```

### Create and Run Tests

Create tests within the `tests` subfolder and then run:

```bash
poetry run pytest
```

You can also test the `tap-getcensus` CLI interface directly using `poetry run`:

```bash
poetry run tap-getcensus --help
```

### Testing with [Meltano](https://www.meltano.com)

_**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. Install Meltano (if you haven't already) and any needed plugins:

```bash
# Install meltano
pipx install meltano

# Update all plugin definitions
meltano lock --update --all

# Initialize meltano within this directory
cd tap-getcensus
meltano install
```

Now you can test and orchestrate using Meltano:

```bash
# Test invocation:
meltano invoke tap-getcensus --version

# OR run a pipeline:
meltano run tap-getcensus target-jsonl
```

### SDK Dev Guide

See the [dev guide](https://sdk.meltano.com/en/latest/dev_guide.html) for more instructions on how to use the SDK to
develop your own taps and targets.
