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."
Ensure you have an AWS account and have created an S3 bucket where you will store the data. Note the bucket name and region for future use. Ensure your IAM user has the necessary permissions to access S3 and upload objects.
Install Python on your local machine if it isn't already installed. Ensure you have pip, Python's package installer, to install necessary libraries. Use `pip install boto3 requests` to install Boto3 (AWS SDK for Python) and the Requests library for making HTTP requests.
Write a Python script that will make GET requests to the public API. Use the Requests library to handle the HTTP connection. Parse the JSON response or the appropriate format that the API returns.
```python
import requests
def fetch_data(api_url):
response = requests.get(api_url)
if response.status_code == 200:
return response.json() # or response.text for non-JSON APIs
else:
raise Exception(f"Failed to fetch data: {response.status_code}")
```
Depending on the API response, you may need to process the data into a format suitable for storage. This could involve converting JSON to a CSV or plain text file, or simply saving the JSON response as-is.
```python
import json
def prepare_data(data):
# Example: convert dictionary to JSON string
return json.dumps(data)
```
Configure your AWS credentials locally so that Boto3 can authenticate with AWS services. You can do this by running `aws configure` in your terminal and entering your AWS Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, default region, and output format.
Use Boto3 to upload your processed data to the S3 bucket. Create a function that takes the data and uploads it as an object in your S3 bucket.
```python
import boto3
def upload_to_s3(data, bucket_name, object_name):
s3_client = boto3.client('s3')
s3_client.put_object(Bucket=bucket_name, Key=object_name, Body=data)
```
If you need to move data regularly, automate the process using a scheduler. On a Unix system, you can use `cron` jobs to run your script at regular intervals. On Windows, you can use Task Scheduler. Ensure the script is executable and has the necessary environment configurations to run without manual intervention.
```sh
# Example cron job to run every day at midnight
0 0 /usr/bin/python /path/to/your/script.py
```
By following these steps, you can efficiently move data from public APIs to your S3 bucket without relying on third-party connectors, maintaining control over the process and customization.
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.
