How Airbyte Works

About the source and destination

Coin API

CoinAPI is a platform which provides fast, reliable and unified data APIs to cryptocurrency markets. CoinAPI is a well known marketplace where you can find the most advanced free crypto API. CoinAPI empowers users to gain the most from cryptocurrency. CoinAPI is a service provider that is solely highlighted on supplying price and market data. CoinAPI is a cryptocurrency exchange API with more than 250 exchanges available and CoinAPI has data on more than 9,000 assets.

Redshift

A fully managed data warehouse service in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, Amazon Redshift is designed for storage and analysis of large-scale datasets. Redshift allows businesses to scale from a few hundred gigabytes to more than a petabyte (a million gigabytes), and utilizes ML techniques to analyze queries, offering businesses new insights from their data. Users can query and combine exabytes of data using standard SQL, and easily save their query results to their S3 data lake.

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 Coin API as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
  2. set up Redshift 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 Coin API account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
  2. A Redshift 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 Coin API and Redshift, for seamless data migration.

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

Step 1: Set up Coin API as a source connector

1. First, navigate to the Coin API website and create an account if you haven't already done so.
2. Once you have an account, log in and navigate to the API section of the website.
3. Generate an API key by clicking on the ""Generate API Key"" button.
4. Copy the API key to your clipboard.
5. Open Airbyte and navigate to the ""Sources"" tab.
6. Click on the ""Add Source"" button and select ""Coin API"" from the list of available connectors.
7. Enter a name for your source and paste the API key you copied earlier into the ""API Key"" field.
8. Select the data you want to sync from Coin API by choosing the appropriate options from the dropdown menus.
9. Click on the ""Test"" button to ensure that your credentials are correct and that Airbyte can connect to Coin API.
10. If the test is successful, click on the ""Create"" button to save your source and start syncing data from Coin API."

Step 2: Set up Redshift as a destination connector

1. First, log in to your Airbyte account and navigate to the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on the "Add Destination" button and select "Redshift" from the list of available connectors.
3. Enter your Redshift database credentials, including the host, port, database name, username, and password.
4. Choose the schema you want to use for your data in Redshift.
5. Select the tables you want to sync from your source connector to Redshift.
6. Map the fields from your source connector to the corresponding fields in Redshift.
7. Choose the sync mode you want to use, either "append" or "replace."
8. Set up any additional options or filters you want to use for your sync.
9. Test your connection to ensure that your data is syncing correctly.
10. Once you are satisfied with your settings, save your configuration and start your sync.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Coin API data to Redshift

Once you've successfully connected Coin API as a data source and Redshift 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 Coin API from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
  3. Select your destination: Choose Redshift 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 Coin API objects you want to import data from towards Redshift. 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 Coin API to Redshift according to your settings.

Remember, Airbyte keeps your data in sync at the frequency you determine, ensuring your Redshift data warehouse is always up-to-date with your Coin API data.

Use Cases to transfer your Coin API data to Redshift

Integrating data from Coin API to Redshift provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

  1. Advanced Analytics: Redshift’s powerful data processing capabilities enable you to perform complex queries and data analysis on your Coin API data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within Coin API alone.
  2. Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with Coin API, syncing to Redshift allows you to centralize your data for a holistic view of your operations, and to set up a change data capture process so you never have any discrepancies in your data again.
  3. Historical Data Analysis: Coin API has limits on historical data. Syncing data to Redshift allows for long-term data retention and analysis of historical trends over time.
  4. Data Security and Compliance: Redshift provides robust data security features. Syncing Coin API data to Redshift ensures your data is secured and allows for advanced data governance and compliance management.
  5. Scalability: Redshift can handle large volumes of data without affecting performance, providing an ideal solution for growing businesses with expanding Coin API data.
  6. Data Science and Machine Learning: By having Coin API data in Redshift, you can apply machine learning models to your data for predictive analytics, customer segmentation, and more.
  7. Reporting and Visualization: While Coin API provides reporting tools, data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, Looker (Google Data Studio) can connect to Redshift, providing more advanced business intelligence options. If you have a Coin API table that needs to be converted to a Redshift table, Airbyte can do that automatically.

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

  1. Configure a Coin API account as an Airbyte data source connector.
  2. Configure Redshift as a data destination connector.
  3. Create an Airbyte data pipeline that will automatically be moving data directly from Coin API to Redshift after you set a schedule

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.
