Primer

Primer is a unified payments infrastructure that enables businesses to accept, optimize, and manage payments globally.

Bruin supports Primer as a source for Ingestr assets, and you can use it to ingest data from Primer into your data platform.

To set up a Primer connection, you must add a configuration item in the .bruin.yml and asset file. You need an api_key. For details on how to obtain these credentials, please refer to the Primer API documentation.

Follow the steps below to set up Primer correctly as a data source and run ingestion.

Configuration

Step 1: Add a connection to the .bruin.yml file

In order to set up Primer connection, you need to add a configuration item in the .bruin.yml file and asset file. This configuration must comply with the following schema:

connections:
      primer:
        - name: "my-primer"
          api_key: "your-api-key"

• api_key: API key used for authentication with the Primer API

Step 2: Create an asset file for data ingestion

To ingest data from Primer, you need to create an asset configuration file. This file defines the data flow from the source to the destination. Create a YAML file (e.g., primer_ingestion.yml) inside the assets folder and add the following content:

name: public.primer_payments
type: ingestr

parameters:
  source_connection: my-primer
  source_table: 'payments'

  destination: postgres

• name: The name of the asset.
• type: Specifies the asset's type. Set this to ingestr to use the ingestr data pipeline. For Primer, it will be always ingestr
• source_connection: The name of the Primer connection defined in .bruin.yml
• source_table: The name of the table in Primer to ingest.
• destination: The destination platform/type, for example postgres.

Available Source Tables

Table	PK	Inc Key	Inc Strategy	Details
payments	id	dateUpdated	merge	Retrieves payment details from Primer

Step 3: Run asset to ingest data

bruin run assets/primer_ingestion.yml

As a result of this command, Bruin will ingest data from the given Primer table into your destination database.
