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

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.
