"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."

Chase Zieman

“Airbyte helped us accelerate our progress by years, compared to our competitors. We don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless. The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.”

Rupak Patel
"With Airbyte, we could just push a few buttons, allow API access, and bring all the data into Google BigQuery. By blending all the different marketing data sources, we can gain valuable insights."
Start by setting up a Google Cloud Project. Go to the Google Cloud Console, click on "Select a project," and then "New Project." Give your project a name and click "Create." This project will be used to manage access to Google Directory data through the Admin SDK.
Once your project is set up, navigate to the "API & Services" dashboard and click on "Enable APIs and Services." Search for "Admin SDK" and enable it. This API will allow you to access the Google Directory data programmatically.
In the Google Cloud Console, go to "IAM & Admin" and select "Service Accounts." Click on "Create Service Account." Provide a name and description and click "Create." Grant the service account the "Domain Wide Delegation" role, which will allow it to impersonate users in your Google Workspace domain.
After creating the service account, go to the "Keys" section. Click on "Add Key" and select "JSON." This will download a JSON file containing your service account credentials. Store this file securely on your local machine as it will be used to authenticate API requests.
Log into the Google Admin Console using an admin account. Navigate to "Security" > "Access and data control" > "API controls." Under "Domain-wide delegation," click on "Manage Domain-wide Delegation." Add a new client ID using the service account's client ID and grant it the necessary scopes for accessing directory data. For example, use the scope `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.readonly` to read user data.
Write a script in your preferred programming language (e.g., Python) to authenticate and fetch data from the Google Directory. Use libraries like `google-auth` and `google-api-python-client` to handle authentication and API calls. Use the credentials from the downloaded JSON key to authenticate and access the directory data.
```python
from google.oauth2 import service_account
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
# Path to your service account JSON key
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE = '/path/to/your/service-account-file.json'
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.readonly']
credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE, scopes=SCOPES)
# Impersonate a user within your domain
delegated_credentials = credentials.with_subject('admin@yourdomain.com')
service = build('admin', 'directory_v1', credentials=delegated_credentials)
# Fetch users
results = service.users().list(customer='my_customer').execute()
users = results.get('users', [])
```
Once you have fetched the data, you can write it to a local JSON file. Use standard file handling techniques to create a JSON file and write the data.
```python
import json
# Define the file path for the JSON output
output_file = 'google_directory_data.json'
# Write the data to a JSON file
with open(output_file, 'w') as f:
json.dump(users, f, indent=4)
print(f"Data successfully written to {output_file}")
```
By following these steps, you can successfully move data from Google Directory to a local JSON file without relying on third-party connectors or integrations. Adjust the script as needed to suit your specific data access requirements.
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.
Google (Workspace) Directory is, simply put, a user management system for Google Workspace. It allows IT admins to manage users’ access, facilitates and governs user sign-ons, and, ultimately, is meant to enable users to sign in to multiple Google services through one Google identity. Other features include the ability to monitor devices connected to a business’s domain, manage organizations’ structures, audit applications to which users have approved access, and revoke unauthorized apps.
Google Directory's API provides access to a wide range of data related to the Google Directory service. The API allows developers to retrieve information about various categories of data, including:
- Directory listings: Information about businesses, organizations, and other entities listed in the Google Directory.
- Categories: The different categories and subcategories used to organize listings in the directory.
- Reviews and ratings: User-generated reviews and ratings for businesses and other entities listed in the directory.
- Contact information: Phone numbers, addresses, and other contact information for businesses and organizations listed in the directory.
- Images and videos: Images and videos associated with listings in the directory.
- User profiles: Information about users who have contributed reviews and ratings to the directory.
Overall, the Google Directory API provides developers with a wealth of data that can be used to build applications and services that leverage the information contained in the directory.
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.
