Apify is a web scraping and automation platform that can extract structured data from any website or automate any workflow on the web. For example, imagine you found a website selling shoes and want to get a spreadsheet with all the shoe sizes, colors, prices, etc., but the website doesn't make that information accessible in tabular form. Youcould certainly manually create such a spreadsheet using copy and paste, but that would take a lot of time and cause a lot of frustration. Or you can set up Apify to do this for you in a few seconds.
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed proprietary NoSQL database service that supports key–value and document data structures and is offered by Amazon.com as part of the Amazon Web Services portfolio. DynamoDB exposes a similar data model to and derives its name from Dynamo, but has a different underlying implementation.
1. First, navigate to the Apify website and log in to your account.
2. Once you are logged in, click on the "API" tab in the top navigation bar.
3. Next, click on the "Credentials" tab and then click the "Create new token" button.
4. Give your token a name and select the appropriate permissions for your use case.
5. Copy the generated token to your clipboard.
6. Navigate to your Airbyte dashboard and click on the "Sources" tab.
7. Click on the "Add Source" button and select "Apify" from the list of available connectors.
8. In the "Connection Configuration" section, paste the token you copied from Apify into the "API Token" field.
9. Enter the name of the dataset you want to connect to in the "Dataset Name" field.
10. Click the "Test" button to ensure that the connection is successful.
11. If the test is successful, click the "Save" button to save your configuration.
12. You can now use the Apify source connector in Airbyte to extract data from your chosen dataset.
1. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Scroll down until you find the "DynamoDB" connector and click on it.
3. Click on the "Create new connection" button.
4. Enter a name for your connection and click on the "Next" button.
5. Enter your AWS access key ID and secret access key in the appropriate fields.
6. Enter the name of the DynamoDB table you want to connect to.
7. Choose the region where your DynamoDB table is located.
8. Click on the "Test connection" button to ensure that your credentials are correct and that the connection is successful.
9. If the test is successful, click on the "Create connection" button to save your settings.
10. You can now use the DynamoDB destination connector to transfer data from your source to your DynamoDB table.
With Airbyte, creating data pipelines take minutes, and the data integration possibilities are endless. Airbyte supports the largest catalog of API tools, databases, and files, among other sources. Airbyte's connectors are open-source, so you can add any custom objects to the connector, or even build a new connector from scratch without any local dev environment or any data engineer within 10 minutes with the no-code connector builder.
