“Airbyte helped us accelerate our progress by years, compared to our competitors. We don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless. The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.”
Rupak Patel
"With Airbyte, we could just push a few buttons, allow API access, and bring all the data into Google BigQuery. By blending all the different marketing data sources, we can gain valuable insights."
Begin by exporting your data from Airtable. Navigate to the base and table you want to export. Use the "Download CSV" option available under the "View" menu in Airtable to export your data as a CSV file. Ensure that you save the file in a location that is accessible to the script or program you will use later.
Log in to the Google Cloud Console and create a new project if you don’t already have one. Use the navigation menu to select "IAM & admin" and then "Create a Project." Give your project a unique name and note the Project ID for later use. Ensure billing is enabled for the project.
Within your Google Cloud project, enable the Pub/Sub API. Go to the "APIs & Services" section and click on "Enable APIs and Services." Search for "Pub/Sub" and click on "Enable" to activate the API for your project, allowing you to use Google Cloud's messaging service.
In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to "Pub/Sub" and then "Topics." Click on "Create Topic" and give it a name. This topic will serve as the endpoint for your data being published. Make sure to configure any necessary permissions or access controls to ensure your data can be securely published.
Develop a script using a programming language like Python. This script should read and parse the CSV file you exported from Airtable. Utilize Python’s built-in CSV module to load the data into a structured format, such as a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary represents a row from the CSV.
Extend your script to publish the parsed data to the Pub/Sub topic. Use the Google Cloud client library for Python. First, authenticate using a service account with Pub/Sub permissions. Then, use the `publish` method to send messages to your Pub/Sub topic. Each row of your CSV can be published as a separate message.
After running your script, verify that the data has been successfully published to your Pub/Sub topic. Use the Google Cloud Console to navigate to "Pub/Sub" and select "Topics." Click on your topic to view the subscription and verify the messages. You can also create a subscription to test message reception and ensure data integrity.
By following these steps, you can effectively move data from Airtable to Google Pub/Sub without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
FAQs
What is ETL?
ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.
Airtable is a cloud collaboration service.
Airtable's API provides access to a wide range of data types, including:
1. Tables: The primary data structure in Airtable, tables contain records and fields.
2. Records: Each row in a table is a record, which contains data for each field.
3. Fields: Each column in a table is a field, which can contain various data types such as text, numbers, dates, attachments, and more.
4. Views: Airtable allows users to create different views of their data, such as grid view, calendar view, and gallery view.
5. Forms: Airtable also allows users to create forms to collect data from external sources.
6. Attachments: Users can attach files to records, such as images, documents, and videos.
7. Collaborators: Airtable allows users to collaborate with others on their data, with different levels of access and permissions.
8. Metadata: Airtable's API also provides access to metadata about tables, fields, and records, such as creation and modification dates.
Overall, Airtable's API provides a comprehensive set of data types and features for users to manage and manipulate their data in a flexible and customizable way.
What is ELT?
ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.
Difference between ETL and ELT?
ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
