TL;DR

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 Pinterest as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
  2. set up Typesense as a destination connector
  3. define which data you want to transfer and how frequently

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

This tutorial’s purpose is to show you how.

What is Pinterest

Pinterest Ads is a platform that allows businesses to promote their products and services to a highly engaged audience on Pinterest. With over 400 million monthly active users, Pinterest is a visual discovery engine that helps people find inspiration and ideas for their interests and hobbies. Pinterest Ads allows businesses to create and display ads in the form of Promoted Pins, Promoted Video Pins, and Promoted Carousel Pins. These ads can be targeted to specific audiences based on their interests, behaviors, and demographics. Pinterest Ads also provides analytics and insights to help businesses measure the performance of their ads and optimize their campaigns for better results.

What is Typesense

Typesense is an open-source, typo-tolerant search engine optimized for an instant (typically sub-50ms) search-like-up-type experience and developer productivity. If you've heard of Elasticsearch or Algolia, a good way to think about Typesense is that it's an open source alternative to Algolia, with some key issues fixed and an easy-to-use battery-powered alternative to Elasticsearch.It works like a CDN, but for Search. Deploy nodes around the world, closest to your users, to provide them an ultra-fast search experience.

Prerequisites

  1. A Pinterest account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
  2. A Typesense account.
  3. An active Airbyte Cloud account, or you can also choose to use Airbyte Open Source locally. You can follow the instructions to set up Airbyte on your system using docker-compose.

Airbyte is an open-source data integration platform that consolidates and streamlines the process of extracting and loading data from multiple data sources to data warehouses. It offers pre-built connectors, including Pinterest and Typesense, for seamless data migration.

When using Airbyte to move data from Pinterest to Typesense, it extracts data from Pinterest using the source connector, converts it into a format Typesense can ingest using the provided schema, and then loads it into Typesense via the destination connector. This allows businesses to leverage their Pinterest data for advanced analytics and insights within Typesense, simplifying the ETL process and saving significant time and resources.

Step 1: Set up Pinterest as a source connector

1. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Sources" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on the "Add Source" button and select "Pinterest Ads" from the list of available connectors.
3. Enter a name for the connector and click "Next".
4. Enter your Pinterest Ads credentials, including your username and password.
5. Click "Test Connection" to ensure that the credentials are correct and the connection is successful.
6. Once the connection is successful, select the data you want to sync from Pinterest Ads.
7. Choose the frequency of data syncing and the destination where you want to store the data.
8. Click "Create Source" to complete the process and start syncing data from Pinterest Ads to your chosen destination.

Step 2: Set up Typesense as a destination connector

1. First, navigate to the Airbyte website and log in to your account.
2. Once you are logged in, click on the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. Scroll down until you find the Typesense destination connector and click on it.
4. You will be prompted to enter your Typesense API key. Enter this information and click "Test Connection" to ensure that the connection is successful.
5. If the connection is successful, click "Save" to save your Typesense destination connector settings.
6. Next, navigate to the "Sources" tab on the left-hand side of the screen and select the source that you want to connect to your Typesense destination.
7. Follow the prompts to enter the necessary information for your source connector, such as the API key or database credentials.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Pinterest data to Typesense

Once you've successfully connected Pinterest as a data source and Typesense as a destination in Airbyte, you can set up a data pipeline between them with the following steps:

  1. Create a new connection: On the Airbyte dashboard, navigate to the 'Connections' tab and click the '+ New Connection' button.
  2. Choose your source: Select Pinterest from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
  3. Select your destination: Choose Typesense from the dropdown list of your configured destinations.

  6. Select the sync mode for your streams: Choose between full refreshes or incremental syncs (with deduplication if you want), and this for all streams or at the stream level. Incremental is only available for streams that have a primary cursor.
  7. Test your connection: Click the 'Test Connection' button to make sure that your setup works. If the connection test is successful, save your configuration.
  8. Start the sync: If the test passes, click 'Set Up Connection'. Airbyte will start moving data from Pinterest to Typesense according to your settings.

Use Cases to transfer your Pinterest data to Typesense

Integrating data from Pinterest to Typesense provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

  1. Advanced Analytics: Typesense’s powerful data processing capabilities enable you to perform complex queries and data analysis on your Pinterest data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within Pinterest alone.
  2. Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with Pinterest, syncing to Typesense allows you to centralize your data for a holistic view of your operations, and to set up a change data capture process so you never have any discrepancies in your data again.
  3. Historical Data Analysis: Pinterest has limits on historical data. Syncing data to Typesense allows for long-term data retention and analysis of historical trends over time.
  4. Data Security and Compliance: Typesense provides robust data security features. Syncing Pinterest data to Typesense ensures your data is secured and allows for advanced data governance and compliance management.
  5. Scalability: Typesense can handle large volumes of data without affecting performance, providing an ideal solution for growing businesses with expanding Pinterest data.
  6. Data Science and Machine Learning: By having Pinterest data in Typesense, you can apply machine learning models to your data for predictive analytics, customer segmentation, and more.
  7. Reporting and Visualization: While Pinterest provides reporting tools, data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, Looker (Google Data Studio) can connect to Typesense, providing more advanced business intelligence options. If you have a Pinterest table that needs to be converted to a Typesense table, Airbyte can do that automatically.

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

  1. Configure a Pinterest account as an Airbyte data source connector.
  2. Configure Typesense as a data destination connector.
  3. Create an Airbyte data pipeline that will automatically be moving data directly from Pinterest to Typesense after you set a schedule

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.
