Begin by accessing your Google Ads account. Navigate to the “Reports”� section where you can generate detailed reports of your campaigns, ad groups, keywords, and more. Customize your report to include the data you need, such as click-through rates, impressions, and costs. Once generated, download the report in a CSV format. This format is crucial for the subsequent steps.
Ensure that you have a programming environment ready with Python installed. You will need Python to handle the data manipulation and API requests. Additionally, make sure you have access to the Weaviate instance where you plan to store the data. You will also need the necessary API keys or credentials for authentication.
Use Python to clean and format the CSV data extracted from Google Ads. You can use libraries like pandas to load and process the data. Ensure that the data types are consistent and that there are no missing values or duplicates. This step is essential for ensuring data integrity and compatibility with Weaviate’s schema.
Before importing data, you need to define a schema in Weaviate that matches the structure of your Google Ads data. Use Weaviate's RESTful API to create classes and properties that align with the columns in your CSV file. For example, you might define classes such as "Campaign" with properties like "name," "clicks," and "cost."
Authenticate with the Weaviate API using the credentials obtained from your Weaviate instance. Typically, this involves sending a POST request with your API key to acquire an access token. Use Python's requests library to handle the authentication process securely.
Now that your data is clean and your schema is defined, use Python to iterate over your CSV data and send POST requests to the Weaviate API. Each request will create a new object in Weaviate according to the schema you defined. Ensure that you handle any API response errors and log successes or failures for each data record.
After uploading, verify that the data in Weaviate matches your original Google Ads data. You can do this by querying the Weaviate API to retrieve objects and comparing them to your source CSV. Implement checks to ensure that no data is lost or misrepresented during the transfer process. Adjust and re-upload if necessary.
By following these steps, you can effectively move data from Google Ads to Weaviate without relying on third-party connectors.
FAQs
What is ETL?
ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.
The Google Ads API is the modern programmatic interface to Google Ads and the next generation of the AdWords API and it is a paid online advertising platform offered by Google. Google Ads is a paid search channel. Google Ads is a key digital marketing tool for any business which is looking to get meaningful ad copy in front of its target audience. Google AdWords is a well known marketplace where companies pay to have their website ranked at the top of a search results page, based on keywords.
Google Ads API provides access to a wide range of data related to advertising campaigns, including:
- Campaigns: Information about the campaigns, such as name, status, budget, and targeting settings.
- Ad groups: Details about the ad groups, including name, status, and targeting criteria.
- Ads: Information about the ads, such as type, format, and performance metrics.
- Keywords: Data related to the keywords used in the campaigns, including search volume, competition, and performance metrics.
- Bidding: Details about the bidding strategies used in the campaigns, such as manual bidding or automated bidding.
- Conversions: Information about the conversions generated by the campaigns, including conversion rate, cost per conversion, and conversion tracking settings.
- Audience: Data related to the audience targeting used in the campaigns, such as demographics, interests, and behaviors.
- Location: Information about the geographic targeting used in the campaigns, including location targeting settings and performance metrics.
Overall, the Google Ads API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to optimize advertising campaigns and improve their performance.
What is ELT?
ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.
Difference between ETL and ELT?
ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
