Matillion API - Task History

Hello,

I had some questions about how I can most effectively extract task history data using the Matillion API. The issue I am running into is that the response I am getting is huuuuuuge. It appears that I am getting component-by-component info on each pipeline run, which is causing some issues. I just want data at the pipeline level, and would much prefer not to extract component level data and then filter afterwards. I have tried: ?limit=1 , ?since= , filter/by/… and others.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hello, @connor.twomey. Welcome to the Matillion Community!

Thank you for your question. I’m going to check in with the team about this and will get back to you as soon as I have an update or a solution.

Kind regards,

Suzanne

Hi @connor.twomey.

I have spoken to the team, and we recommend that you use the API Query component in Matillion ETL to access the Task History API. This component allows you to filter the data returned in the API response and apply filters to any column you need. For more information, read API Query - Matillion Docs . For a general example of extracting and loading task history into a target data platform, you could also give this a read: Task History - Matillion Docs .

I hope this helps and answers your question.

Kind regards,

Suzanne
