How Airbyte Works

About the source and destination

Apify Dataset

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.

RabbitMQ

RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker software that enables communication between different applications and systems. It acts as a mediator between the sender and receiver of messages, ensuring that messages are delivered reliably and efficiently. RabbitMQ uses a messaging protocol called Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) to facilitate communication between different applications. It supports multiple messaging patterns such as point-to-point, publish-subscribe, and request-reply. RabbitMQ is highly scalable and can handle large volumes of messages, making it a popular choice for enterprise-level applications. It also provides features such as message routing, message persistence, and message acknowledgments to ensure reliable message delivery.

TL;DR

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps:

  1. set up Apify Dataset as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
  2. set up RabbitMQ as a destination connector
  3. define which data you want to transfer and how frequently

You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud.

This tutorial’s purpose is to show you how.

Prerequisites

  1. A Apify Dataset account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
  2. A RabbitMQ account.
  3. An active Airbyte Cloud account, or you can also choose to use Airbyte Open Source locally. You can follow the instructions to set up Airbyte on your system using docker-compose.

Airbyte is an open-source data integration platform that consolidates and streamlines the process of extracting and loading data from multiple data sources to data warehouses. It offers pre-built connectors, including Apify Dataset and RabbitMQ, for seamless data migration.

When using Airbyte to move data from Apify Dataset to RabbitMQ, it extracts data from Apify Dataset using the source connector, converts it into a format RabbitMQ can ingest using the provided schema, and then loads it into RabbitMQ via the destination connector. This allows businesses to leverage their Apify Dataset data for advanced analytics and insights within RabbitMQ, simplifying the ETL process and saving significant time and resources.

Step 1: Set up Apify Dataset as a source connector

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.

Step 2: Set up RabbitMQ as a destination connector

1. First, navigate to the RabbitMQ destination connector on Airbyte's website.
2. Click on the "Get Started" button to begin the process.
3. Fill in the required information, including the RabbitMQ server host, port, username, and password.
4. Choose the exchange type and routing key for your messages.
5. Select the format for your data, such as JSON or CSV.
6. Test the connection to ensure that it is working properly.
7. If the connection is successful, save the configuration and start syncing your data to RabbitMQ.
8. Monitor the sync to ensure that it is running smoothly and troubleshoot any issues that arise.
9. Once the sync is complete, you can use RabbitMQ to process and analyze your data as needed.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Apify Dataset data to RabbitMQ

Once you've successfully connected Apify Dataset as a data source and RabbitMQ as a destination in Airbyte, you can set up a data pipeline between them with the following steps:

  1. Create a new connection: On the Airbyte dashboard, navigate to the 'Connections' tab and click the '+ New Connection' button.
  2. Choose your source: Select Apify Dataset from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
  3. Select your destination: Choose RabbitMQ from the dropdown list of your configured destinations.
  4. Configure your sync: Define the frequency of your data syncs based on your business needs. Airbyte allows both manual and automatic scheduling for your data refreshes.
  5. Select the data to sync: Choose the specific Apify Dataset objects you want to import data from towards RabbitMQ. You can sync all data or select specific tables and fields.
  6. Select the sync mode for your streams: Choose between full refreshes or incremental syncs (with deduplication if you want), and this for all streams or at the stream level. Incremental is only available for streams that have a primary cursor.
  7. Test your connection: Click the 'Test Connection' button to make sure that your setup works. If the connection test is successful, save your configuration.
  8. Start the sync: If the test passes, click 'Set Up Connection'. Airbyte will start moving data from Apify Dataset to RabbitMQ according to your settings.
