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.
TiDB is a distributed SQL database that is designed to handle large-scale online transaction processing (OLTP) and online analytical processing (OLAP) workloads. It is an open-source, cloud-native database that is built to be highly available, scalable, and fault-tolerant. TiDB uses a distributed architecture that allows it to scale horizontally across multiple nodes, while also providing strong consistency guarantees. It supports SQL and offers compatibility with MySQL, which makes it easy for developers to migrate their existing applications to TiDB. TiDB is used by companies such as Didi Chuxing, Mobike, and Meituan-Dianping to power their mission-critical applications.
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.
1. First, navigate to the Airbyte website and log in to your account.
2. Once you are logged in, click on the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. Scroll down until you find the TiDB destination connector and click on it.
4. You will be prompted to enter your TiDB database credentials, including the host, port, username, and password.
5. Once you have entered your credentials, click on the "Test" button to ensure that the connection is successful.
6. If the test is successful, click on the "Save" button to save your TiDB destination connector settings.
7. You can now use the TiDB destination connector to transfer data from your source connectors to your TiDB database.
8. To set up a data integration pipeline, navigate to the "Connections" tab on the left-hand side of the screen and create a new connection.
9. Select your TiDB destination connector as the destination and choose your source connector as the source.
10. Configure the settings for your data integration pipeline, including the frequency of data transfers and any data transformations that you want to apply.
11. Once you have configured your data integration pipeline, click on the "Save" button to save your settings.
12. Your data integration pipeline will now run automatically, transferring data from your source connectors to your TiDB database on a regular basis.
With Airbyte, creating data pipelines take minutes, and the data integration possibilities are endless. Airbyte supports the largest catalog of API tools, databases, and files, among other sources. Airbyte's connectors are open-source, so you can add any custom objects to the connector, or even build a new connector from scratch without any local dev environment or any data engineer within 10 minutes with the no-code connector builder.
We look forward to seeing you make use of it! We invite you to join the conversation on our community Slack Channel, or sign up for our newsletter. You should also check out other Airbyte tutorials, and Airbyte’s content hub!
