Plaid is a technology platform that makes it possible for companies to develop digitally-enabled financial systems. It enables developers to build financial services and applications safely and easily for financial institutions of any size. Plaid powers many financial apps including Venmo, Betterment, Chime, and Dave, encrypting your data before sharing it with your chosen app to keep your connection secure.
Weaviate is an open-source, cloud-native, real-time vector search engine that allows developers to build intelligent applications with natural language processing (NLP) capabilities. It uses machine learning algorithms to understand the meaning of unstructured data and provides a semantic search engine that can retrieve relevant information from large datasets. Weaviate can be used to build chatbots, recommendation systems, and other intelligent applications that require NLP capabilities. It is designed to be scalable, flexible, and easy to use, with a RESTful API that allows developers to integrate it into their applications quickly. Weaviate is built on top of Kubernetes and can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud.
1. First, navigate to the Plaid website and create an account if you haven't already. Once you have an account, log in and navigate to the "API" section of the dashboard.
2. In the API section, click on "Credentials" and then "Create a new set of credentials." Follow the prompts to select the appropriate product and environment for your use case.
3. Once you have created your credentials, you will be provided with a "client ID," "secret," and "public key." Copy these values and keep them handy.
4. Next, navigate to your Airbyte dashboard and click on "Sources" in the left-hand menu. Then, click on "Create a new source" and select "Plaid" from the list of available connectors.
5. In the Plaid source configuration screen, enter a name for your source and paste in the client ID, secret, and public key that you copied from the Plaid dashboard.
6. Select the appropriate environment (sandbox or production) and enter the credentials for the Plaid account you want to connect to Airbyte.
7. Finally, click "Test connection" to ensure that Airbyte can successfully connect to your Plaid account. If the test is successful, click "Create source" to save your configuration and start syncing data.
1. First, navigate to the Weaviate destination connector on Airbyte's website.
2. Click on the "Get Started" button to begin the setup process.
3. Enter the required credentials for your Weaviate instance, including the URL, API key, and schema name.
4. Test the connection to ensure that the credentials are correct and the connection is successful.
5. Choose the tables or collections that you want to sync from your source connector to Weaviate.
6. Map the fields from your source connector to the corresponding fields in Weaviate.
7. Set up any necessary transformations or filters to ensure that the data is formatted correctly for Weaviate.
8. Schedule the sync to run at regular intervals or manually trigger it as needed.
9. Monitor the sync to ensure that the data is being transferred correctly and troubleshoot any issues that arise.
10. Once the sync is complete, verify that the data has been successfully transferred to Weaviate.
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!
