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."
Begin by setting up a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project if you haven't already. Go to the Google Cloud Console, create a new project, and make a note of the Project ID. Ensure that billing is enabled for your project to access BigQuery.
Log in to your Recurly account and navigate to the API Credentials section under the Developer tab. Generate API keys if you haven't already. These keys will allow you to programmatically access your Recurly data.
Download and install the Google Cloud SDK on your local machine. Authenticate your account by running `gcloud auth login` in the terminal. Set your project with `gcloud config set project [YOUR_PROJECT_ID]`.
Use a scripting language like Python to extract data from Recurly. Utilize HTTP requests to interact with Recurly’s API endpoints. For instance, use the `requests` library in Python to GET data from endpoints like `https://your-subdomain.recurly.com/v2/accounts`. Parse the JSON responses and save the data to a structured format like CSV or JSON files.
Clean and transform the extracted data to ensure it matches BigQuery's schema requirements. This may involve converting date formats, ensuring data types are consistent, and structuring the data into tables. Save the transformed data in a format compatible with BigQuery, such as CSV or JSON.
Before loading data into BigQuery, upload the prepared data files to Google Cloud Storage (GCS). Use the `gsutil` command-line tool to transfer files from your local machine to a GCS bucket. For example, use `gsutil cp yourfile.csv gs://your-bucket-name/`.
In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to BigQuery and use the BigQuery web UI to create a new dataset. Use the BigQuery Data Transfer Service or the `bq` command-line tool to load data from GCS into BigQuery. Specify the data source URIs, and configure the schema as needed. For example:
```shell
bq load --source_format=CSV your_dataset.your_table gs://your-bucket-name/yourfile.csv ./schema.json
```
Verify that the data appears correctly in BigQuery and check for any errors or warnings during the load process.
By following these steps, you can efficiently move data from Recurly to BigQuery without relying on third-party connectors, while ensuring data integrity and compliance with both platforms’ requirements.
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.
Recurly is an SaaS subscription billing management platform that powers over 2,000 brands, including Asana, BarkBox, Cinemark, Sling TV, and Twitch.

Overall, Recurly's API provides businesses with a comprehensive set of data to manage their subscription-based business models effectively.
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.
