Has anyone used Alteryx to extract data from Medallia using the Download Tool?

We are wanting to extract data from Medallia using the Download Tool (or python whichever is easier). Has anyone created a connector or API that has performed such a task? Do you have an example?

It looks like Medallia uses Basic Authentication: https://developer.medallia.com/medallia-apis/reference/authentication 

 

 "https://${REPORTING_INSTANCE}/oauth/${TENANT_NAME}/token" \ -X POST \ -u 'client_id:client_secret' \ -d 'grant_type=client_credentials'

 

So you would take client_id:client_secret, base64 encode it, put the word Basic and a space in front of this value in a new field called Authorization and pass that as a header in the download tool which would be configured to do a POST request against the endpoint listed above and also have a grant_type client_credentials in the payload tab. 

 

If the credentials are valid, this will return a download data column after the download tool which will have a JSON value that looks something like this:

 

{ "access_token": "2c5822312345678901d21", "token_type": "Bearer", "expires_in": 3600 }

 

The token can then be used in subsequent API calls.

The next question is going to be about how to build GraphQL requests.
