What our users say
Andre Exner
"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."
Begin by downloading the Google Webfonts that you need onto your local machine. You can do this by visiting the Google Fonts website (https://fonts.google.com/), selecting the fonts you want, and downloading them as a ZIP file. Extract the ZIP file to access the fonts in formats like `.ttf` or `.woff`.
Create a metadata file containing relevant information about each font you downloaded. This can be a JSON or CSV file including details such as font name, style, weight, and any other relevant attributes. This metadata will be useful when uploading to Weaviate, as it will allow for structured data storage and querying.
Set up a Weaviate instance where you will store your font data. You can do this by either deploying a Weaviate instance on your local machine using Docker or setting it up on a cloud service. Follow the Weaviate documentation to ensure your instance is running correctly.
In Weaviate, define a schema that matches the structure of your font metadata. For example, your schema could have classes such as `Font` with properties like `name`, `style`, `weight`, and any other attributes you included in your metadata. Use the Weaviate schema API to create this schema in your instance.
Convert the font files into a Base64 string format. This is necessary because Weaviate stores file data as strings. Use a script in your preferred programming language (e.g., Python) to read each font file and convert it to a Base64 string, ensuring that each string is associated with the correct metadata entry.
With the font data encoded and metadata prepared, you can now upload the data to your Weaviate instance. Use the Weaviate RESTful API to create objects in your defined class, including both the metadata and the Base64-encoded font data. Ensure that each object you create in Weaviate corresponds to a font with its metadata.
After uploading, verify that the data has been correctly stored in Weaviate. Query your Weaviate instance to retrieve and check the stored font objects. Ensure that the metadata matches your original data and that the Base64 strings can be decoded back to the original font files if needed. This step ensures that your data transfer was successful and complete.
By following these steps, you will have moved your data from Google Webfonts to Weaviate without the need for third-party connectors or integrations.
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 Web Font service, which is an ever-growing depository of fonts, all are available to use for free on the web, through Open Source Licensing. Whilst it is not the only platform available to provide typefaces to your site, it does have the largest free selection out there. A web font is any font used in a website's design that isn't installed by default on the end user's device a counterpart to a system font.
Google Webfonts API provides access to various types of data related to web fonts. The API allows developers to integrate web fonts into their websites and applications. The following are the categories of data that the Google Webfonts API provides access to:
1. Font families: The API provides access to a wide range of font families that can be used on websites and applications.
2. Font variants: The API provides access to different font variants such as regular, bold, italic, and bold italic.
3. Font subsets: The API provides access to different font subsets such as Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek.
4. Font metadata: The API provides access to metadata related to fonts such as font name, designer, and license information.
5. Font metrics: The API provides access to font metrics such as line height, letter spacing, and font size.
6. Font rendering: The API provides access to font rendering options such as anti-aliasing and sub-pixel rendering.
Overall, the Google Webfonts API provides developers with a comprehensive set of data related to web fonts that can be used to enhance the typography of their websites and applications.
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.
