Syncing JSON Data to PostgreSQL with CodelessAPI.io

Published on August 7, 2023

Introduction

Efficient data synchronization between different formats and databases is vital for maintaining data accuracy and accessibility. CodelessAPI.io provides a seamless solution to sync JSON data to PostgreSQL without the need for complex coding. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of using CodelessAPI.io to establish dynamic data sync from JSON to PostgreSQL, streamlining your data integration tasks.

Syncing Made Simple

Follow these straightforward steps to set up data synchronization from JSON to PostgreSQL using CodelessAPI.io:

Step 1: Sign Up and Create a New API

  1. Create a CodelessAPI.io account: If you don't have an account, start by signing up for a free CodelessAPI.io account. You can create an account by visiting the sign-up page.
  2. Generate a new API: Upon logging in, access your dashboard and navigate to the "Workflows" page. Click the "Create new Workflow" button. Provide a descriptive name and relevant description for your API. After creation, you'll be directed to the API builder interface.

Step 2: Connect JSON Data as the Source

  1. Select JSON data as the source: Go to the "Data" section in the left sidebar, expand the "Read" options, and choose "JSON" as the data source for your synchronization.
  2. Add the JSON module to the canvas: Drag and drop the "JSON" module onto the canvas. This module will be the starting point for reading JSON data.

Step 3: Configure the JSON Data Source

  1. Add or select a JSON file: Configure the JSON module by uploading the JSON file containing the data you want to sync to PostgreSQL. CodelessAPI.io will parse the JSON and make it available for synchronization.
  2. Select columns: Select the columns you wish to include in the synchronization process.

Step 4: Connect PostgreSQL as the Destination

  1. Choose PostgreSQL as the destination: Navigate to the "Data" section, expand the "Create" options, and select "Postgres" as the destination for your synchronization.
  2. Add the PostgreSQL module to the canvas: Drag and drop the "Postgres" module onto the canvas. This module will be where the synchronized data will be inserted.

Step 5: Link the Modules

Establish a data flow from JSON to PostgreSQL by linking the modules in the desired sequence. Connect the "Start" module to the "JSON" module, and then link the "JSON" module to the "Postgres" module. Finally, connect the "Postgres" module to the "End" module. To link modules, click on each module, then click "Link", and choose the module you want to link to.

Step 6: Map Data in PostgreSQL

  1. Authorize CodelessAPI.io with PostgreSQL: Click on the "Postgres" module within the canvas and select "Configure". Follow the prompts to authorize CodelessAPI.io and provide your PostgreSQL database credentials, including the host, port, database name, username, and password.
  2. Select the PostgreSQL table: After authorization, choose the specific table in your PostgreSQL database where you want to insert the JSON data.
  3. Map fields in PostgreSQL: Use the "map" option to link the corresponding fields from the JSON data to the appropriate columns in your PostgreSQL table. This ensures accurate and organized data insertion.

  4. View the data: If you want to verify the data after synchronization, add a "Read" module for PostgreSQL after the "Create" module. Configure the module to select from the same table you inserted data into and choose the columns you wish to retrieve. This allows you to see the newly synchronized data.

Step 7: Test and Deploy Your API

  1. Test your API: Initiate a test run of the API using the "Run" button. This helps identify potential issues and validates the API endpoint's functionality.
  2. Deploy and use your API: After setting up the API, access the generated API endpoint to start the synchronization process between JSON and PostgreSQL. To use the API, click on the "Start" module and select "Configuration" to obtain the API link.
