What our users say


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


“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.”

"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 the necessary tools installed on your local machine. You will need Python installed, along with libraries such as `requests` for API calls and `google-cloud-bigquery` for interaction with BigQuery. Additionally, ensure you have a Google Cloud account and have set up billing for BigQuery.
Sign up for an account at News API (https://newsapi.org/) and create an API key. This key will be used to authenticate your requests to the News API. Keep this key secure and do not share it publicly.
Log into your Google Cloud Console. Create a new project if you don't have one. Within this project, create a new BigQuery dataset where the News API data will be stored. Take note of your project ID and dataset name as they will be needed in subsequent steps.
Create a Python script that sends a GET request to the News API endpoint, passing your API key and any desired parameters (such as specific news sources, keywords, or date ranges). Use the `requests` library to handle the HTTP request and parse the JSON response to extract the data you need.
```python
import requests
def fetch_news(api_key, query, from_date, to_date):
url = f'https://newsapi.org/v2/everything?q={query}&from={from_date}&to={to_date}&apiKey={api_key}'
response = requests.get(url)
data = response.json()
return data['articles']
```
Transform the fetched data into a format suitable for BigQuery. This usually involves structuring the data as a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary represents a row. Ensure you have all necessary fields and handle any missing or malformed data.
```python
def prepare_data(articles):
prepared_data = []
for article in articles:
row = {
"title": article.get('title'),
"description": article.get('description'),
"url": article.get('url'),
"publishedAt": article.get('publishedAt')
}
prepared_data.append(row)
return prepared_data
```
Use the `google-cloud-bigquery` Python library to load the prepared data into your BigQuery dataset. First, authenticate your session using a service account key file, then use the `insert_rows_json` method to load data into a specified BigQuery table.
```python
from google.cloud import bigquery
def load_data_to_bigquery(project_id, dataset_id, table_id, rows_to_insert):
client = bigquery.Client(project=project_id)
table_ref = client.dataset(dataset_id).table(table_id)
errors = client.insert_rows_json(table_ref, rows_to_insert)
if errors:
print(f"Encountered errors while inserting rows: {errors}")
else:
print("Data loaded successfully.")
# Example usage:
# load_data_to_bigquery('your-project-id', 'your-dataset-id', 'your-table-id', prepared_data)
```
Automate the process by scheduling the script to run at regular intervals. You can use cron jobs on a Unix-based system or Task Scheduler on Windows to run your script daily, weekly, or at another frequency. This step ensures that your BigQuery dataset remains up-to-date with the latest news data.
By following these steps, you can effectively move data from News API 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.
The News API gives a lot of flexibility in how you create and manage your news content. This connector is a simple and easy-to-use REST API that offers JSON search results for recent and historical news articles published by over 80,000 sources worldwide. As a result, you can quickly show trending news headlines in your web application. Also, combining the Google News API is very easy. API is short for application programming interface, which is a software intermediary that permits two applications to talk to each other.
News API provides access to a wide range of data related to news articles and sources. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through News API's API:
1. News articles: News API provides access to articles from various news sources around the world. These articles can be filtered by language, country, and category.
2. News sources: News API provides a list of news sources that can be used to filter articles. These sources can be filtered by language, country, and category.
3. Top headlines: News API provides access to the top headlines from various news sources around the world. These headlines can be filtered by language, country, and category.
4. Search results: News API provides access to search results based on a keyword or phrase. These search results can be filtered by language, country, and category.
5. Article metadata: News API provides metadata for each article, including the title, author, description, URL, and published date.
6. Image URLs: News API provides access to the URLs of images associated with each article.
7. Article content: News API provides access to the full content of each article, including the text and any embedded media.
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.
