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.
Public API connector permits users the flexibility to connect to any existing REST API and quickly abstract the necessary data. The API Connector also permits you to connect to almost any external API from Bubble. It provides Azure Active Directory with the information needed to call the API endpoint by defining the HTTP endpoint URL and authentication for the API call. API Connector is a dynamic, comfortable-to-use extension that pulls data from any API into Google Sheets.
Public APIs provide access to a wide range of data, including:
1. Weather data: Public APIs provide access to real-time weather data, including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation.
2. Financial data: Public APIs provide access to financial data, including stock prices, exchange rates, and economic indicators.
3. Social media data: Public APIs provide access to social media data, including user profiles, posts, and comments.
4. Geographic data: Public APIs provide access to geographic data, including maps, geocoding, and routing.
5. Government data: Public APIs provide access to government data, including census data, crime statistics, and public health data.
6. News data: Public APIs provide access to news data, including headlines, articles, and trending topics.
7. Sports data: Public APIs provide access to sports data, including scores, schedules, and player statistics.
8. Entertainment data: Public APIs provide access to entertainment data, including movie and TV show information, music data, and gaming data.
Overall, Public APIs provide access to a vast array of data, making it easier for developers to build applications and services that leverage this data to create innovative solutions.
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.

Use Cases to Get Data From API to SQL Server
Data consolidation
- Businesses often use multiple SaaS applications, each with its own API. Exporting this data to SQL Server allows for centralized storage and analysis.
- This consolidated view can provide better insights across different business functions.
Historical data analysis
- Many APIs only provide current data or limited historical data. By regularly exporting to SQL Server, companies can build their own historical database.
- This enables long-term trend analysis and forecasting.
Business intelligence and reporting
- SQL Server's robust querying capabilities make it ideal for complex reporting and business intelligence tasks.
- Combining API data with other internal data sources in SQL Server can lead to more comprehensive insights.
Data backup and compliance
- Exporting API data to SQL Server serves as a backup, protecting against data loss in the original system.
- It also helps meet data retention requirements for regulatory compliance.
Custom application development
- Having API data in SQL Server makes it easier to build custom applications that require this data.
- It allows for more flexible data access patterns that might not be supported by the original API.
