Building your pipeline or Using Airbyte

Airbyte is the only open source solution empowering data teams  to meet all their growing custom business demands in the new AI era.

Building in-house pipelines
Bespoke pipelines are:
  • Inconsistent and inaccurate data
  • Laborious and expensive
  • Brittle and inflexible
Furthermore, you will need to build and maintain Y x Z pipelines with Y sources and Z destinations to cover all your needs.
After Airbyte
Airbyte connections are:
  • Reliable and accurate
  • Extensible and scalable for all your needs
  • Deployed and governed your way
All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

Start syncing with Airbyte in 3 easy steps within 10 minutes

Set up a Newsdata connector in Airbyte

Connect to Newsdata or one of 400+ pre-built or 10,000+ custom connectors through simple account authentication.

Set up Kafka for your extracted Newsdata data

Select Kafka where you want to import data from your Newsdata source to. You can also choose other cloud data warehouses, databases, data lakes, vector databases, or any other supported Airbyte destinations.

Configure the Newsdata to Kafka in Airbyte

This includes selecting the data you want to extract - streams and columns -, the sync frequency, where in the destination you want that data to be loaded.

How to Sync Newsdata to Kafka Manually

First, ensure that you have Kafka installed and running on your system. You can download Kafka from the official Apache Kafka website. Follow the installation instructions specific to your operating system. Start the Kafka server and a Zookeeper instance, as Kafka depends on Zookeeper to manage the cluster.

Identify how the data is structured in your `newsdata` source. This could be a database, API, or a file. Ensure you have the necessary credentials and permissions to access and read the data. If it’s a database, determine the table or query needed. If it’s an API, make sure to have the endpoint and parameters ready.

Write a script to extract data from the `newsdata` source. This could be a Python script using libraries like `requests` for APIs or `psycopg2` for PostgreSQL databases. Ensure that the script can retrieve data in a format that you can process, such as JSON or CSV. Test the script to confirm it extracts the correct data.

Once you have the data, transform it into a format suitable for Kafka. Kafka typically works well with JSON or Avro formats. If your data is not already in JSON, convert it. Ensure each record in your data has a key-value structure if you plan to use Kafka’s partitioning features.

Write a Kafka producer script to send data to a Kafka topic. Use a Kafka client library suitable for your programming language, such as `confluent_kafka` for Python. Specify the Kafka broker details, and configure the producer with necessary properties like `bootstrap.servers`. Create a new Kafka topic for your data if it doesn’t already exist.

In your producer script, read the formatted data and send it to the Kafka topic. Implement a loop to iterate through the data records, creating a Kafka producer message for each record and sending it to the topic. Handle any exceptions or errors that may occur during the sending process to ensure data reliability.

Once the data is being sent to Kafka, set up a consumer to validate that the data is arriving correctly. Use Kafka’s command-line tools to consume messages from the topic or write a simple consumer script. Check for any discrepancies or errors in the data flow and adjust your scripts as necessary to handle them.

By following these steps, you can successfully move data from `newsdata` to Kafka without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.

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.

NewsData is an online platform that provides updated news and information related to energy policy affairs in California and the Southwest. News data is one kinds of information that is collected using web scraping tools from a large number of news sources and outlets from across the internet. News Data Network is a reliable source of lifestyle news content. NewsData offers a common frame of reference for thousands of energy professionals, keeping them well-informed on Western energy policy, markets, resources, and other topics essential to their work.

Newsdata's API provides access to a wide range of data related to news and media. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through the API:  

1. News articles: The API provides access to news articles from various sources, including major news outlets and smaller publications.  
2. News sources: The API provides information about news sources, including their names, URLs, and other relevant details.  
3. News topics: The API provides information about news topics, including their names, descriptions, and other relevant details.  
4. News events: The API provides information about news events, including their names, dates, locations, and other relevant details.  
5. News sentiment: The API provides information about the sentiment of news articles, including whether they are positive, negative, or neutral.  
6. News trends: The API provides information about news trends, including which topics are currently popular and which are declining in popularity.  
7. News analytics: The API provides access to various analytics related to news, including traffic data, engagement metrics, and other relevant information.  

Overall, Newsdata's API provides a comprehensive set of data related to news and media, making it a valuable resource for journalists, researchers, and other professionals in the industry.

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 Newsdata to Kafka 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 Newsdata to Kafka and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud. 

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.

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.
