How to load data from Braze to MongoDB

Learn how to use Airbyte to synchronize your Braze data into MongoDB within minutes.

Building your pipeline or Using Airbyte

Airbyte is the only open source solution empowering data teams  to meet all their growing custom business demands in the new AI era.

Building in-house pipelines
Bespoke pipelines are:
  • Inconsistent and inaccurate data
  • Laborious and expensive
  • Brittle and inflexible
Furthermore, you will need to build and maintain Y x Z pipelines with Y sources and Z destinations to cover all your needs.
After Airbyte
Airbyte connections are:
  • Reliable and accurate
  • Extensible and scalable for all your needs
  • Deployed and governed your way
All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

How to Sync to Manually

Step 1: Export Data from Braze

To begin, navigate to the Braze dashboard and utilize Braze's export functionality. This involves setting up a data export job, typically through Braze�s REST API. You�ll need to determine the data set you want to export (e.g., user profiles, events, etc.) and use the API to extract the data in a suitable format, like CSV or JSON.

Prepare your local or server environment to handle data processing. Ensure that you have Python or another scripting language installed, along with necessary libraries to handle HTTP requests and data manipulation (e.g., `requests`, `json`, `pandas` for Python).

Develop a script to fetch the exported data from Braze. This script will use an HTTP request to connect to the Braze API endpoint and download the data file. Ensure you handle authentication by including the necessary API keys or tokens in your requests.

Once the data is fetched, parse it into a structured format using your chosen scripting language. For JSON, you can directly load it into a data structure like a list of dictionaries. For CSV, you may need to use a library like `pandas` to load and clean the data, ensuring it's formatted correctly for MongoDB insertion (e.g., handling missing values, ensuring proper data types).

Ensure you have a MongoDB instance running. This can be a local MongoDB server or a cloud-based MongoDB Atlas instance. You�ll need the connection URI and access credentials to interact with your MongoDB database.

Use a library like `pymongo` for Python to connect to your MongoDB instance. Create a connection to the database and specify the collection where you want to insert the data. Iterate over your cleaned data and insert each record into MongoDB using `insert_one()` or `insert_many()` methods, depending on the volume and structure of your data.

After the insertion is complete, verify the data integrity by querying the MongoDB collection. Check that the number of records matches your expectations and that the data fields are correctly populated. You can use MongoDB queries to perform spot checks on the data consistency and accuracy.
By following these steps, you will be able to successfully transfer data from Braze to a MongoDB destination without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
