Consuming API Data using Built in SSIS Components - Russel Loski
More and more companies are making their data available not just through flat file downloads but using Application Programming Interfaces (API). APIs simply define what data the company provides and in what format. APIs also define what the company needs from you. We will walk through the NOAA Weather API, building, using an SSIS Script component, the request that the API requires, with the appropriate header and URL. Then we will then get the JSON data from NOAA and parse it into a structure from which we can populate a standard SSIS data flow pipeline. We will do this without any additional components (like JSON.Net, etc). Finally we will output the data using standard script component output columns. The whole process can be accomplished using SSIS alone.
