Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Magento's API provides access to a wide range of data related to e-commerce websites. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through Magento's API:
1. Products: Information about products such as name, description, price, stock availability, and images.
2. Customers: Data related to customers such as name, email address, shipping and billing addresses, and order history.
3. Orders: Details about orders such as order number, customer information, product information, and payment details.
4. Categories: Information about product categories such as name, description, and parent category.
5. Reviews: Customer reviews and ratings for products.
6. Store information: Data related to the store such as store name, address, and contact information.
7. Shipping and payment methods: Information about available shipping and payment methods.
8. Sales rules: Rules related to discounts, promotions, and coupons.
9. CMS pages and blocks: Content management system pages and blocks such as home page, about us, and contact us. 10. Reports: Sales, customer, and product reports.
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.
