"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."

Chase Zieman

“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."
First, go to your Airtable base and select the table you want to export. Click on the "View" dropdown and choose "Download CSV." This will export your table data into a CSV format, which is easy to manipulate and import into other applications.
Open the downloaded CSV file in a spreadsheet application like Excel or Google Sheets. Review the data to ensure that it is correctly formatted. Make any necessary adjustments, such as renaming columns or changing data types, to match the schema you plan to use in Typesense.
If you haven't already, set up a Typesense server. You can do this by downloading the Typesense binary from the official website, then running it on your machine or server with the command `./typesense-server --data-dir /path/to/data`. Make sure the server is running and accessible.
Create a schema for your Typesense collection by defining the fields and their types. This can be done using the Typesense API. Use the following JSON format as a template and modify it to suit your CSV data structure:
```json
{
"name": "your_collection_name",
"fields": [
{"name": "field1", "type": "string"},
{"name": "field2", "type": "int32"},
// Add fields as necessary
]
}
```
Use a tool like Postman or cURL to send a POST request to `http://localhost:8108/collections` with the above schema.
Convert your CSV data into JSON, as Typesense works with JSON documents. You can do this using a script in Python or another programming language. For example, use Python's `csv` and `json` libraries to read the CSV and write each row as a JSON object.
Once you have your JSON data, you need to index it in Typesense. Use a script to iterate over each JSON object and send it to Typesense using the API. You can use a POST request to `http://localhost:8108/collections/your_collection_name/documents/import` with the JSON data.
After uploading your data, verify that it has been indexed correctly. You can do this by sending a GET request to `http://localhost:8108/collections/your_collection_name/documents` and checking the returned results. Ensure that the data matches what you expect in terms of structure and content.
By following these steps, you should be able to manually move data from Airtable to Typesense without the use of 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.
