The Pexels API enables programmatic access to the entire Pexels content library, including photos, videos. All content is free, and you're welcome to use Pexels content for anything, as long as it stays within our guidelines.The Pexels API is a RESTful JSON API, and you can interact with it from any language or framework with an HTTP library. Alternatively, Pexels maintains some official client libraries that you can use.
A communication solutions agency, Kafka is a cloud-based / on-prem distributed system offering social media services, public relations, and events. For event streaming, three main functionalities are available: the ability to (1) subscribe to (read) and publish (write) streams of events, (2) store streams of events indefinitely, durably, and reliably, and (3) process streams of events in either real-time or retrospectively. Kafka offers these capabilities in a secure, highly scalable, and elastic manner.
1. First, navigate to the Airbyte dashboard and click on "Sources" on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on the "Create a new source" button and select "Pexels API" from the list of available connectors.
3. Enter a name for your Pexels API source and click "Next".
4. In the "Connection Configuration" section, enter your Pexels API key in the "API Key" field.
5. Click "Test Connection" to ensure that your API key is valid and that Airbyte can connect to your Pexels account.
6. Once the connection is successful, click "Next" to proceed to the "Schema Selection" section.
7. In this section, you can choose which tables you want to replicate from your Pexels account. You can select all tables or only specific ones.
8. Click "Next" to proceed to the "Sync Schedule" section. Here, you can choose how often you want Airbyte to sync your Pexels data.
9. Once you have selected your sync schedule, click "Create Source" to save your Pexels API source.
10. You can now use your Pexels API source to replicate data to your destination of choice.
1. First, you need to have an Apache Kafka destination connector installed on your system. If you don't have it, you can download it from the Apache Kafka website.
2. Once you have the Apache Kafka destination connector installed, you need to create a new connection in Airbyte. To do this, go to the Connections tab and click on the "New Connection" button. 3. In the "New Connection" window, select "Apache Kafka" as the destination connector and enter the required connection details, such as the Kafka broker URL, topic name, and authentication credentials.
4. After entering the connection details, click on the "Test Connection" button to ensure that the connection is working properly.
5. If the connection test is successful, click on the "Save" button to save the connection.
6. Once the connection is saved, you can create a new pipeline in Airbyte and select the Apache Kafka destination connector as the destination for your data.
7. In the pipeline configuration, select the connection you created in step 3 as the destination connection.
8. Configure the pipeline to map the source data to the appropriate Kafka topic and fields.
9. Once the pipeline is configured, you can run it to start sending data to your Apache Kafka destination.
With Airbyte, creating data pipelines take minutes, and the data integration possibilities are endless. Airbyte supports the largest catalog of API tools, databases, and files, among other sources. Airbyte's connectors are open-source, so you can add any custom objects to the connector, or even build a new connector from scratch without any local dev environment or any data engineer within 10 minutes with the no-code connector builder.
We look forward to seeing you make use of it! We invite you to join the conversation on our community Slack Channel, or sign up for our newsletter. You should also check out other Airbyte tutorials, and Airbyte’s content hub!
