How to load data from Google Ads to S3 Glue

Learn how to use Airbyte to synchronize your Google Ads data into S3 Glue 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: Set Up Google Ads API Access

To access Google Ads data, you need to set up API access. First, create a Google Cloud project and enable the Google Ads API. Obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials by setting up a consent screen and downloading the OAuth client ID and secret. Configure a developer token in your Google Ads account, which allows API access.

Use the OAuth 2.0 credentials to authenticate your application. Implement the OAuth 2.0 flow to obtain an access token. This token will authorize your requests to the Google Ads API. You can use libraries such as Google's `google-auth-library` in Python or any language of your choice to handle this process.

With authentication in place, use the Google Ads API to construct queries to fetch the desired data. You can use the Google Ads Query Language (GAQL) to define your queries. Execute these queries using the API client libraries to retrieve the data in a format like JSON or CSV.

Once data is fetched, transform it into a CSV format which is suitable for storage in S3 and later processing with AWS Glue. Depending on your programming environment, you might use libraries such as `pandas` in Python to handle this transformation efficiently.

In your AWS account, set up an S3 bucket to store the data. This involves creating a new bucket through the AWS Management Console or using the AWS CLI. Make sure to configure permissions and access policies to allow access from your application if required.

Use AWS SDKs (such as Boto3 for Python) to upload the transformed CSV files to the S3 bucket. Ensure you specify the correct bucket name and object key when uploading. It's essential to handle any exceptions during the upload process to ensure data integrity and retry if necessary.

With data in S3, set up an AWS Glue job to process the data. Create a Glue job through the AWS Management Console. Define the data source as the S3 bucket and the data target as your desired output format or database. Use Glue's ETL capabilities to cleanse, transform, and load the data as needed.

By following these steps, you can automate the process of moving data from Google Ads to AWS S3 and prepare it for further processing with AWS Glue, all without relying on third-party connectors.
