Automated Continuous Vercel Replication to Local Delimited Files
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Vercel data into local delimited files (CSV/TSV), allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.
Configure CSV/TSV as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate Vercel data to delimited files, like CSV or TSV. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select CSV as a destination.
- Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to a directory for storing delimited files, set the following:
- Destination Folder: Set this location on the disk for the delimited files.
- Include Column Headers: Set this to True for the first row in each file to represent the column names.
- Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure the Vercel Connection
You can configure a connection to Vercel from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Vercel account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (Vercel).
- Configure the connection properties.
Using API Key Authentication
Vercel uses Bearer token authentication. You can use either a personal access token or an OAuth access token as the API key.
To obtain a personal access token:
- Log into your Vercel account at https://vercel.com/
- Navigate to Account Settings > Tokens.
- Click Create Token, enter a name and expiration, and click Create.
- Copy the generated token (it will only be shown once).
After obtaining your token, set the following connection properties:
- AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
- APIKey: Set this to your Vercel personal access token or OAuth access token.
Example Connection String
Profile=C:\profiles\Vercel.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;APIKey=your_access_token;
Working with Teams
Many Vercel resources are scoped to a team. To scope all requests to a specific team, set the TeamId connection property to your team's ID. You can find your team ID by querying the Teams table or from the Vercel dashboard. Alternatively, you can specify TeamId in your SQL queries using the WHERE clause where supported.
Connecting to Vercel
Once the authentication is configured, you can connect to Vercel and query data from any of the available tables such as Projects, Deployments, Teams, and Domains.
- Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure Replication Queries
CData Sync enables you to control replication with a point-and-click interface and with SQL queries. For each replication you wish to configure, navigate to the Jobs tab and click Add Job. Select the Source and Destination for your replication.
Replicate Entire Tables
To replicate an entire table, click Add Tables in the Tables section, choose the table(s) you wish to replicate, and click Add Selected Tables.
Customize Your Replication
You can use the Columns and Query tabs of a task to customize your replication. The Columns tab allows you to specify which columns to replicate, rename the columns at the destination, and even perform operations on the source data before replicating. The Query tab allows you to add filters, grouping, and sorting to the replication.
Schedule Your Replication
In the Schedule section, you can schedule a job to run automatically, configuring the job to run after specified intervals ranging from once every 10 minutes to once every month.
Once you have configured the replication job, click Save Changes. You can configure any number of jobs to manage the replication of your Vercel data to delimited files.
