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.

What is News API?

What data can you extract from News API?

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.

How do I transfer data from News API?

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps:
1. Set up News API to Databricks Lakehouse as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. Choose a destination (more than 50 available destination databases, data warehouses or lakes) to sync data too and set it up as a destination connector
3. Define which data you want to transfer from News API to Databricks Lakehouse and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud.

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.
