"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."
Ensure you have active accounts on both Mailgun and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). For BigQuery, you need a project set up with billing enabled.
Log into your Mailgun account and navigate to the API settings section. Generate an API key, which will be used to authenticate and access data from Mailgun.
Use Mailgun's RESTful API to retrieve the data you need. You can use Python requests or a similar HTTP client library. For example, to fetch log data, call the API endpoint `https://api.mailgun.net/v3/YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME/events` with appropriate query parameters and headers including your API key.
Once you have retrieved data from Mailgun, transform it into a format that BigQuery can ingest, such as CSV or JSON. Ensure that the structure of the data matches the schema of the BigQuery table where you will store the data.
Before importing data into BigQuery, upload your CSV or JSON file to a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket. Use the `gsutil` command-line tool or GCP Console to upload files to GCS. For instance, the command `gsutil cp your_file.csv gs://your_bucket_name/` uploads your file to the specified bucket.
In BigQuery, navigate to your dataset and initiate a new table creation. Choose "Create table from Google Cloud Storage" and specify the GCS file path. Define the schema manually or use schema autodetect, and configure other settings such as write preference.
To automate this process, write a script using a language like Python. Utilize the Mailgun API to fetch data, transform it, upload to GCS, and then load it into BigQuery. Use a scheduler like cron jobs on a Linux server or Google Cloud's Cloud Scheduler to execute your script at regular intervals, ensuring data is consistently updated.
By following these steps, you can effectively move and automate the transfer of data from Mailgun to BigQuery without relying on 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.
Mailgun is a well-known provider of email API services you can easily use to send, validate, and receive emails through your domain at scale.

It has remaining an email validation service, powered by its email-sending cache, that provides some of the most accurate validation results on the market. You can easily create personalized emails targeted at a specific audience.
Mailgun's API provides access to various types of data related to email delivery and management. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through Mailgun's API:
1. Email sending and delivery data: - Information about sent emails, including sender and recipient email addresses, subject, and content. - Delivery status of emails, including whether they were successfully delivered or bounced.
2. Email tracking data: - Open and click tracking data, which provides information about when and how many times an email was opened or clicked. - Unsubscribe tracking data, which provides information about when and how many times a recipient unsubscribed from an email list.
3. Email validation data: - Information about the validity of email addresses, including whether they are formatted correctly and whether they exist.
4. Account and domain management data: - Information about the account and domain settings, including API keys, domains, and webhooks. - Usage statistics, including the number of emails sent and received, and the amount of storage used. Overall, Mailgun's API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to monitor and optimize email delivery and management.
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.
