Connecting to REST

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to REST and configure any necessary connection properties from the Connection Manager window.

You can also configure component capabilities through the available Connection properties, from data modeling to firewall traversal. The Advanced Settings section shows how to set up more advanced configurations and troubleshoot connection errors.

Visual Studio Version Support

The CData SSIS Components for REST supports Visual Studio versions 2015 and above.

SSIS Version Support

The CData SSIS Components for REST provide data flow components that allow for straightforward integration with REST data from SSIS data flow tasks. SQL Server 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2022 are supported including their corresponding version of SQL Server Data Tools.

REST Version Support

The component models REST APIs as bidirectional database tables and XML/JSON files as views (local files, files stored on popular cloud services, and FTP servers). The component abstracts connecting to remote data as well as data processing: TLS/SSL, HTTP/FTP, and authentication. The major authentication schemes are supported, including HTTP Basic, Digest, NTLM, OAuth, and FTP.
