What our users say
"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."
“Airbyte helped us accelerate our progress by years, compared to our competitors. We don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless. The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.”
"With Airbyte, we could just push a few buttons, allow API access, and bring all the data into Google BigQuery. By blending all the different marketing data sources, we can gain valuable insights."
Begin by exporting the data you need from Plausible. Plausible provides an option to export data as CSV files. Log into your Plausible account, navigate to the specific report or dataset you wish to export, and select the option to download it as a CSV file. Save this file to a local or accessible directory on your computer.
Ensure you have a Google Cloud account and access to Google BigQuery. If you haven't already, create a new project or use an existing one. Enable the BigQuery API for your project via the Google Cloud Console. This will allow you to interact with BigQuery and upload your data.
Before importing data into BigQuery, upload your CSV file to Google Cloud Storage. In the Google Cloud Console, create a new GCS bucket or use an existing one. Upload your CSV file to this bucket. This step is crucial because BigQuery can directly import data from Cloud Storage.
In the BigQuery section of the Google Cloud Console, create a new dataset to store your data. Once your dataset is ready, define a table schema that matches the structure of your CSV file. You can do this manually by specifying each column name and data type according to your CSV file.
With your dataset and table ready, use a BigQuery SQL query or the BigQuery Data Transfer Service to load data from your GCS bucket into the BigQuery table. In the BigQuery editor, execute a `LOAD DATA` SQL statement, specifying your GCS file path and the target table. Ensure you handle any data type conversions if necessary.
Once the data load is complete, verify that the data has been accurately transferred. Run a few queries in BigQuery to check the data against your original CSV file. Compare row counts, column values, and data types to ensure everything matches and no information is lost during the transfer.
For ongoing data syncing, consider setting up a script using Google Cloud's SDK or client libraries to automate the download from Plausible, upload to GCS, and data load into BigQuery. You can use a combination of shell scripts and cron jobs (or Google Cloud Functions) to automate and schedule these tasks periodically as needed.
This guide outlines the manual process and basic automation for transferring data from Plausible to BigQuery without relying on third-party integrations.
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.

3. User Behavior: This category includes data related to user behavior on a website, such as the pages visited, time spent on each page, and the actions taken on the website.
4. Geolocation: This category includes data related to the geographic location of website visitors, such as the country, region, and city.
5. Devices: This category includes data related to the devices used by website visitors, such as desktop, mobile, and tablet.
6. Browsers: This category includes data related to the browsers used by website visitors, such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer.
Overall, Plausible's API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to analyze website traffic and user behavior, and to make data-driven decisions to improve website performance.
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.
