Orb

Overview

The Orb source supports both Full Refresh and Incremental syncs. For incremental syncs, this source will only read and output new records based on their created_at timestamp.

Output schema

This Source is capable of syncing the following core resources, each of which has a separate Stream. Note that all of the streams are incremental:

As a caveat, the Credits Ledger Entries must read all Customers for an incremental sync, but will only incrementally return new ledger entries for each customers.

Similarily, the Subscription Usage stream must read all Subscriptions for an incremental sync (and all Plans if using the optional subscription_usage_grouping_key), but will only incrementally return new usage entries for each subscription.

Note on Incremental Syncs

The Orb API does not allow querying objects based on an updated_at time. Therefore, this connector uses the created_at field (or the timeframe_start field in the Subscription Usage stream) to query for new data since the last sync.

In order to capture data that has been updated after creation, please run a periodic Full Refresh.

Performance considerations

The Orb connector should not run into Orb API limitations under normal usage. Please create an issue if you see any rate limit issues that are not automatically retried successfully.

warning

The credit_ledger_entries stream will now include events data. This upgrade uses the created_at timestamps from the credits to establish a 30-day timeframe, with the earliest created_at as the starting point. This restriction is set by the Orb API.

info

If you are using the start_date and end_date parameter with the credit_ledger_entries stream it will sync all customers created during the that time window. It isn't possible to query data directly to credit_ledger_entries. The connector need to retrieve data from customers first to ingest the credit data.
