"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."
Sign up for an Alpha Vantage account at https://www.alphavantage.co/. After signing up, you will receive an API key. This key is necessary to access the financial data from Alpha Vantage.
Use the Alpha Vantage API to fetch the desired financial data. You can do this by making an HTTP GET request to the API endpoint using your API key. For example, to get stock data, use:
```
https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=IBM&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY
```
Use a tool like `curl` or write a Python script to programmatically make this request and save the response data to a file, such as a CSV or JSON file.
Download and install the Google Cloud SDK from https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install. This will provide you with the `gcloud` and `bq` command-line tools necessary for interacting with Google Cloud services, including BigQuery.
Go to the Google Cloud Console at https://console.cloud.google.com/. Create a new Google Cloud Project if you haven't already. Enable the BigQuery API for your project and create a dataset in BigQuery where you intend to store the Alpha Vantage data.
Ensure your data is in a format compatible with BigQuery. If using CSV, ensure it is well-structured with headers specifying the column names. If using JSON, it should be line-delimited JSON (each JSON object on a new line).
Before loading data into BigQuery, upload your data file to Google Cloud Storage. Use the `gsutil` command to upload your file:
```
gsutil cp /path/to/local/file.csv gs://your-bucket-name/
```
Replace `/path/to/local/file.csv` with the path to your local file and `your-bucket-name` with the name of your Google Cloud Storage bucket.
Use the `bq` command-line tool to load the data from Google Cloud Storage into your BigQuery dataset. Execute the following command:
```
bq load --autodetect --source_format=CSV your_dataset.your_table gs://your-bucket-name/file.csv
```
Replace `your_dataset.your_table` with the appropriate dataset and table name in BigQuery, and ensure the `source_format` matches your file format (CSV or NEWLINE_DELIMITED_JSON). Use the `--autodetect` flag to let BigQuery automatically infer the schema, or define the schema explicitly if needed.
By following these steps, you will successfully transfer data from Alpha Vantage to BigQuery manually.
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.

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.
