Add REST API data ingest support #10

Open briandominick opened 6 years ago

briandominick commented 6 years ago

Similarly to the SQL support in Issue #9, we should be able to gather data from REST APIs. A use case I have in mind is being able to extract software release history (release notes, changelog) from a cloud-based task-management or source-control system. Say you want to build an changelog in various formats for various means of distribution, all from the same source -- a source that happens to be GitHub or JIRA or Redmine or even SalesForce. We want to gather a structured dataset via REST request. At its most basic, this could just be a set of options/arguments for running a REST request over HTTP, then processing that during the data ingest phase of the parse action step.
