How Airbyte Works

About the source and destination

Public Apis

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.

Starburst Galaxy

Starburst Data is a data access and analytics company that offers a cloud-native, SQL-based query engine called Presto. Their mission is to enable organizations to access and analyze data across various sources efficiently and at scale. Starburst Data provides an enterprise-grade platform that leverages the power of Presto to query data residing in different databases, data lakes, and cloud storage systems, eliminating data silos and accelerating insights. With a focus on performance, security, and ease of use, Starburst Data empowers businesses to unlock the value of their data, enabling faster decision-making and advanced analytics capabilities.

TL;DR

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps:

  1. set up Public Apis as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
  2. set up Starburst Galaxy as a destination connector
  3. define which data you want to transfer and how frequently

You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud.

This tutorial’s purpose is to show you how.

Prerequisites

  1. A Public Apis account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
  2. A Starburst Galaxy account.
  3. An active Airbyte Cloud account, or you can also choose to use Airbyte Open Source locally. You can follow the instructions to set up Airbyte on your system using docker-compose.

Airbyte is an open-source data integration platform that consolidates and streamlines the process of extracting and loading data from multiple data sources to data warehouses. It offers pre-built connectors, including Public Apis and Starburst Galaxy, for seamless data migration.

When using Airbyte to move data from Public Apis to Starburst Galaxy, it extracts data from Public Apis using the source connector, converts it into a format Starburst Galaxy can ingest using the provided schema, and then loads it into Starburst Galaxy via the destination connector. This allows businesses to leverage their Public Apis data for advanced analytics and insights within Starburst Galaxy, simplifying the ETL process and saving significant time and resources.

Step 1: Set up Public Apis as a source connector

1. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Sources" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on the "Public API" source connector and select "Create new connection."
3. Enter a name for your connection and click "Next."
4. In the "Configuration" tab, enter the base URL for the API you want to connect to.
5. If your API requires authentication, select the appropriate authentication method (e.g. OAuth2, API key, etc.) and enter the necessary credentials.
6. If your API requires additional headers or parameters, add them in the "Advanced" section.
7. Test the connection to ensure that the API is properly configured and that Airbyte can access it.
8. Once the connection is successful, select the data you want to replicate and configure any necessary settings (e.g. scheduling, schema mapping, etc.).
9. Save the connection and run a sync to start replicating data from your API to your destination.

Step 2: Set up Starburst Galaxy as a destination connector

1. First, navigate to the connectors page on Airbyte and select the Starburst Galaxy destination connector.
2. Next, enter the required credentials for your Starburst Galaxy account, including the host, port, database name, username, and password.
3. Once you have entered your credentials, click on the "Test Connection" button to ensure that the connection is successful.
4. If the connection is successful, you can then configure the settings for your destination connector, including the table name, schema, and any additional options.
5. After configuring your settings, you can then run a sync to transfer data from your source connector to your Starburst Galaxy destination.
6. You can monitor the progress of your sync and view any errors or warnings that may occur during the transfer process.
7. Once the sync is complete, you can then view your data in your Starburst Galaxy database and use it for analysis or other purposes.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Public Apis data to Starburst Galaxy

Once you've successfully connected Public Apis as a data source and Starburst Galaxy as a destination in Airbyte, you can set up a data pipeline between them with the following steps:

  1. Create a new connection: On the Airbyte dashboard, navigate to the 'Connections' tab and click the '+ New Connection' button.
  2. Choose your source: Select Public Apis from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
  3. Select your destination: Choose Starburst Galaxy from the dropdown list of your configured destinations.
  4. Configure your sync: Define the frequency of your data syncs based on your business needs. Airbyte allows both manual and automatic scheduling for your data refreshes.
  5. Select the data to sync: Choose the specific Public Apis objects you want to import data from towards Starburst Galaxy. You can sync all data or select specific tables and fields.
  6. Select the sync mode for your streams: Choose between full refreshes or incremental syncs (with deduplication if you want), and this for all streams or at the stream level. Incremental is only available for streams that have a primary cursor.
  7. Test your connection: Click the 'Test Connection' button to make sure that your setup works. If the connection test is successful, save your configuration.
  8. Start the sync: If the test passes, click 'Set Up Connection'. Airbyte will start moving data from Public Apis to Starburst Galaxy according to your settings.

Remember, Airbyte keeps your data in sync at the frequency you determine, ensuring your Starburst Galaxy data warehouse is always up-to-date with your Public Apis data.

Use Cases to transfer your Public Apis data to Starburst Galaxy

Integrating data from Public Apis to Starburst Galaxy provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:
