ACTUARIAL: Prophet Connection to Alteryx

[caltang]

Has any actuary managed to do a Prophet Connection to Alteryx? The file exports .proj, .stoc, and .rpt files. But the sizes are enormous and just blocking out all space to TB levels. 

Any actuaries can chime in? I've heard of an REST API solution, but not much documentation online. Anyone from Alteryx care to chime in as well?

As part of spring cleaning, I think many actuaries stumbled upon my post here on Prophet. Just an update a few months after this, I've made a post here: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Sharing-Actuarial-DCS-amp-Alte... which collects some actuarial sharing which may be of interest.

Re: The point of Prophet itself, the connection with Excel and also the exports of .txt are the best ways I think to connect with Prophet data for your ETL processes within Alteryx. Beyond that, I've not found much else to toggle with, but I think the gains pre-Prophet are substantial enough for any actuarial transformation to showcase results. The domain knowledge for Prophet itself is something entirely different as well.
