Capabilities
The current capabilities for
tap-facebook-pages
may have been automatically set when originally added to the Hub. Please review the
capabilities when using this extractor. If you find they are out of date, please
consider updating them by making a pull request to the YAML file that defines the
capabilities for this extractor.
This plugin has the following capabilities:
- about
- catalog
- discover
- schema-flattening
- state
- stream-maps
You can
override these capabilities or specify additional ones
in your meltano.yml by adding the capabilities key.
Settings
This tap has default selection criteria to exclude streams that have custom logic in them. This is because the tap developers have a use case that requires them to query their data warehouse prior to running replication for a few of the streams. Since this logic is hard coded for their particular use case, those streams should be excluded by default for anyone else using the tap.
See https://github.com/voxmedia/tap-facebook-pages/issues/8 for more details.
