"Get Catalog Data" node

The Get Catalog Data node lets you export all data from a Synerise catalog in the form of JSON or JSON Lines file to external services which can help you repurpose collected data for your business operations. If the data format in the Synerise catalog is not compliant with the requirements of the external resource, you can add the Data Transformation node within the same workflow to format the data (for example, rename columns, edit values, select only some fields, and so on) before exporting.

Limitations

• Data cannot be exported as a CSV file.
• A file can contain up to 20,000,000 records and cannot exceed 5 GB.
• You can export one catalog per one node.

Prerequisites

• Create a catalog
• You must be assigned a user role with an Export catalog data permission within Data export (read, execute, edit)
