Hi guys,

There is a REST API that once called returns the data set in the CSV format.

I am trying to figure out the best way to implement that API call in SSIS so that a csv file can get returned and stored in a folder to be looped through and processed by the next step.

Can anyone, who has made REST API calls from SSIS, provide some suggestions please?

Thanks in advance!

definitely a script task. Just did one and it was a bear. gotcha is that you cannot use web.config from SSIS. you have to carve up the bare binding

var binding = new WSHttpBinding();
binding.Name = "WSHttpBinding_IYOURSERVICE";
binding.CloseTimeout = new TimeSpan(00, 01, 00);
binding.OpenTimeout = new TimeSpan(00, 01, 00);
binding.ReceiveTimeout = new TimeSpan(00, 10, 00);
binding.SendTimeout = new TimeSpan(00, 01, 00);
binding.BypassProxyOnLocal = false;
binding.TransactionFlow = false;
binding.HostNameComparisonMode = HostNameComparisonMode.StrongWildcard;
binding.MaxBufferPoolSize = 524288;
binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 65536;
binding.MessageEncoding = WSMessageEncoding.Text;
binding.UseDefaultWebProxy = true;
binding.AllowCookies = false;
your best bet is to try it out with a small client .net app then port over the code in SSIS
