"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."
Chase Zieman
“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.”
Rupak Patel
"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."
Start by setting up your AWS environment. Ensure you have an AWS account and have configured the AWS CLI with your credentials. Create an S3 bucket where you want to store the data from the API. Note down the bucket name and region for later use.
Write a Python script to extract data from the public API. Use the `requests` library to send HTTP requests to the API endpoint and retrieve data. Parse the API response, which is typically in JSON format, and prepare it for storage. Save this script locally on your machine.
Modify your Python script to store the extracted data as a file locally. You can choose a format such as CSV, JSON, or Parquet, depending on the complexity and size of the data. Ensure the local file system has sufficient space to temporarily store this data.
Use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to modify your script and upload the local file to your S3 bucket. Initialize a Boto3 S3 client and use the `upload_file` method to transfer the file to S3. Verify that the file is successfully uploaded by checking the S3 console.
Navigate to the AWS Glue console and create a new Glue Crawler. Configure it to crawl the data in your S3 bucket. The crawler will create a table in the AWS Glue Data Catalog with the schema inferred from your data. Specify the IAM role that Glue will assume to access the S3 bucket.
Execute the Glue Crawler to populate the Data Catalog with metadata about your data. Once the crawling process completes, verify that the table has been created in the Data Catalog and that it correctly represents the schema of your data.
Create an AWS Glue ETL job to process the data. Use AWS Glue Studio or the Glue Console to define the script or visual workflow for the ETL job. This job can transform, enrich, or clean the data as required. Assign an IAM role to the job that has permissions to read from the Data Catalog and write to the target S3 bucket.
By following these steps, you can efficiently move data from a public API to Amazon S3 using AWS Glue without relying on third-party connectors or 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.
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.
