How to load data from GNews to Databricks Lakehouse

Learn how to use Airbyte to synchronize your GNews data into Databricks Lakehouse 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: Extract Data from Google News

Start by scraping or exporting the required data from Google News. You can use Python libraries such as BeautifulSoup or Requests to scrape news articles. Ensure you comply with Google's terms of service while scraping data. Collect data such as article title, content, publication date, and URL.

Step 2: Structure the Data

Once the data is extracted, structure it into a suitable format such as CSV or JSON. This involves organizing the data into rows and columns if using CSV, or key-value pairs for JSON. This structured format will make it easier to load into Databricks.

Step 3: Set Up Databricks Environment

Log into your Databricks account and create a new workspace if you haven't already. Make sure your workspace has access to a data storage location like AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage.

Step 4: Upload Data to Cloud Storage

Move the structured data file(s) to a cloud storage service that is accessible by Databricks. Use the cloud provider's command-line tools or web interface to upload the files. For example, you can use the AWS CLI to upload files to an S3 bucket.

Step 5: Configure Databricks to Access Cloud Storage

In your Databricks workspace, configure a connection to your cloud storage. This typically involves setting up credentials or IAM roles so that Databricks can read from your storage bucket. Use the Databricks UI or the Databricks CLI to configure these settings.

Step 6: Load Data into Databricks Lakehouse

Use the Databricks platform to load your data. You can write a notebook in Databricks using PySpark or SQL to read the data from your cloud storage into a DataFrame. For instance, use the `spark.read.format("csv").load("s3a://your-bucket/your-file.csv")` command to load a CSV file.

Step 7: Transform and Store Data in Lakehouse

Once the data is loaded into a DataFrame, perform any necessary transformations such as cleaning, filtering, or aggregating the data. Finally, write the transformed DataFrame to the Databricks Lakehouse. You can use the `write` method to store data in the desired format (e.g., Delta Lake format) and location within the Lakehouse.

By following these steps, you can efficiently move data from Google News to a Databricks Lakehouse without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
