How Airbyte Works

About the source and destination

Exchange Rates Api

Used by tens of thousands of developers, Exchange Rates API provides accurate and reliable currency data instantly through its free, simple-to-use API interface. With more than 10 years of exceptional API uptime and support, developers trust Exchange Rates API to provide fast and accurate conversion rates for 160 different currencies as well as essential stock market data in JSON format. They have worked hard to achieve their mission of building a remarkably hardware efficient and reliable currency converter API.

JSON File Destination

JSON File is a tool that is used to store and exchange data in a structured format. JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation, and it is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. JSON files are commonly used in web applications to transfer data between the server and the client, and they are also used in many other programming languages and platforms. JSON files consist of key-value pairs, where each key is a string and each value can be a string, number, boolean, array, or another JSON object. The syntax of JSON is similar to that of JavaScript, but it is a separate language that can be used independently of JavaScript. JSON File is a tool that allows users to create, edit, and view JSON files. It provides a user-friendly interface for working with JSON data, and it can be used by developers, data analysts, and anyone else who needs to work with structured data. With JSON File, users can easily create and modify JSON files, and they can also validate the syntax of their JSON data to ensure that it is well-formed and error-free.

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 Exchange Rates Api as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
  2. set up JSON File Destination 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.
