Civis

Overview

The Civis Platform is a cloud-based data science platform. This Parsons connector utilizes the Civis API Python client to interact with the Civis Platform. It supports executing Civis SQL queries and writing Parsons Tables to a Civis Redshift cluster.

Note

Authentication

The CivisClient class requires your Redshift database ID or name, and an API Key. To obtain an API Key, log in to Civis and follow the instructions for Creating an API Key.

Quickstart

To instantiate the CivisClient class, you can either store your database identifier and API Key as environmental variables (CIVIS_DATABASE and CIVIS_API_KEY) or pass them as keyword arguments.
