CircleCI is currently in beta. The info in this guide is subject to change.
This integration is powered by Singer's CircleCI tap and certified by Stitch. Check out and contribute to the repo on GitHub.

Connecting CircleCI
Step 1: Create CircleCI API token
- Log into your CircleCI application.
- Go to your User settings.
- Click Personal API Tokens.
- Click the Create New Token button.
- The the Token name field, type in a name you will remember - like
Stitch Integration
. - Click the Add API Token button.
- Copy your new API token and paste it in a safe location, as you will not be able to view it in the application again.
Step 2: Create your project slugs
A project slug is a triplet of the componenets:
- Project type - which can either be
github
orbitbucket
- Organization - the name of your organization on GitHub or Bitbucket
- Repository - the name of the repository
The project slug takes the form of <project_type>/<org_name>/<repo_name>
. For example, the project slug for this CircleCI Singer tap is github/singer-io/circle-ci
.
Determine which repositories you would like to include in your Stitch CircleCI integration and list them, separated by spaces, in the project slug format. Keep this list in a safe location.
Step 3: Add CircleCI as a Stitch data source
- Sign into your Stitch account.
-
On the Stitch Dashboard page, click the Add Integration button.
-
Click the CircleCI icon.
-
Enter a name for the integration. This is the name that will display on the Stitch Dashboard for the integration; it’ll also be used to create the schema in your destination.
For example, the name “Stitch CircleCI” would create a schema called
stitch_circleci
in the destination. Note: Schema names cannot be changed after you save the integration. - In the Project Slugs field, paste the list of project slugs you created in step 2.
- In the Token field, paste the API token you created in step 1.
Step 4: Define the historical replication start date
The Sync Historical Data setting defines the starting date for your CircleCI integration. This means that data equal to or newer than this date will be replicated to your data warehouse.
Change this setting if you want to replicate data beyond CircleCI’s default setting of 1 year. For a detailed look at historical replication jobs, check out the Syncing Historical SaaS Data guide.
Step 5: Create a replication schedule
In the Replication Frequency section, you’ll create the integration’s replication schedule. An integration’s replication schedule determines how often Stitch runs a replication job, and the time that job begins.
CircleCI integrations support the following replication scheduling methods:
-
Advanced Scheduling using Cron (Advanced or Premium plans only)
To keep your row usage low, consider setting the integration to replicate less frequently. See the Understanding and Reducing Your Row Usage guide for tips on reducing your usage.
Step 6: Set objects to replicate
The last step is to select the tables and columns you want to replicate. Learn about the available tables for this integration.
Note: If a replication job is currently in progress, new selections won’t be used until the next job starts.
For CircleCI integrations, you can select:
-
Individual tables and columns
-
All tables and columns
Click the tabs to view instructions for each selection method.
- In the integration’s Tables to Replicate tab, locate a table you want to replicate.
-
To track a table, click the checkbox next to the table’s name. A blue checkmark means the table is set to replicate.
-
To track a column, click the checkbox next to the column’s name. A blue checkmark means the column is set to replicate.
- Repeat this process for all the tables and columns you want to replicate.
- When finished, click the Finalize Your Selections button at the bottom of the screen to save your selections.
- Click into the integration from the Stitch Dashboard page.
-
Click the Tables to Replicate tab.
- In the list of tables, click the box next to the Table Names column.
-
In the menu that displays, click Track all Tables and Fields:
- Click the Finalize Your Selections button at the bottom of the page to save your data selections.
Initial and historical replication jobs
After you finish setting up CircleCI, its Sync Status may show as Pending on either the Stitch Dashboard or in the Integration Details page.
For a new integration, a Pending status indicates that Stitch is in the process of scheduling the initial replication job for the integration. This may take some time to complete.
Initial replication jobs with Anchor Scheduling
If using Anchor Scheduling, an initial replication job may not kick off immediately. This depends on the selected Replication Frequency and Anchor Time. Refer to the Anchor Scheduling documentation for more information.
Free historical data loads
The first seven days of replication, beginning when data is first replicated, are free. Rows replicated from the new integration during this time won’t count towards your quota. Stitch offers this as a way of testing new integrations, measuring usage, and ensuring historical data volumes don’t quickly consume your quota.
CircleCI table reference
Schemas and versioning
Schemas and naming conventions can change from version to version, so we recommend verifying your integration’s version before continuing.
The schema and info displayed below is for version 1 of this integration.
This is the latest version of the CircleCI integration.
Table and column names in your destination
Depending on your destination, table and column names may not appear as they are outlined below.
For example: Object names are lowercased in Redshift (CusTomERs
> customers
), while case is maintained in PostgreSQL destinations (CusTomERs
> CusTomERs
). Refer to the Loading Guide for your destination for more info.
