How to load data from Recurly to S3 Glue

Learn how to use Airbyte to synchronize your Recurly data into S3 Glue within minutes.

Building your pipeline or Using Airbyte

Airbyte is the only open source solution empowering data teams  to meet all their growing custom business demands in the new AI era.

Building in-house pipelines

Bespoke pipelines are:
  • Inconsistent and inaccurate data
  • Laborious and expensive
  • Brittle and inflexible
Furthermore, you will need to build and maintain Y x Z pipelines with Y sources and Z destinations to cover all your needs.

After Airbyte

Airbyte connections are:
  • Reliable and accurate
  • Extensible and scalable for all your needs
  • Deployed and governed your way
All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

Start syncing with Airbyte in 3 easy steps within 10 minutes

Set up a Recurly connector in Airbyte

Connect to or one of 400+ pre-built or 10,000+ custom connectors through simple account authentication.

Set up S3 Glue for your extracted Recurly data

Select where you want to import data from your source to. You can also choose other cloud data warehouses, databases, data lakes, vector databases, or any other supported Airbyte destinations.

Configure the Recurly to S3 Glue in Airbyte

This includes selecting the data you want to extract - streams and columns -, the sync frequency, where in the destination you want that data to be loaded.

How to Sync to Manually

Step 1: Extract Data from Recurly using Recurly API

Begin by accessing the Recurly API to extract the data you need. Recurly provides a RESTful API that you can interact with using HTTP requests. You'll need to authenticate using your Recurly API key, then make requests to endpoints relevant to the data you want to extract, such as accounts, invoices, or transactions. Use a scripting language like Python to automate the extraction process.

Step 2: Transform Data into CSV or JSON

Once you have retrieved the data from Recurly, transform it into a structured format such as CSV or JSON. This can be done within your script by parsing the JSON response from the Recurly API and writing it to a file in the desired format. Libraries like `pandas` in Python can be useful for converting JSON data into CSV.

Step 3: Create an AWS S3 Bucket

Log in to the AWS Management Console and create a new S3 bucket to store your data files. This bucket will act as the destination for the transformed data. Ensure that you name your bucket uniquely and configure the appropriate permissions and policies to allow for data uploads.

Step 4: Upload Data to S3

Use AWS CLI or an SDK (like Boto3 for Python) to upload your transformed data files to the S3 bucket. If using the AWS CLI, the command would be `aws s3 cp [file_path] s3://[bucket_name]/[destination_path]`. Ensure that your AWS credentials are configured correctly on your local environment to allow for these operations.

Step 5: Configure AWS Glue Crawler

In the AWS Management Console, navigate to AWS Glue and set up a new Glue Crawler. This crawler will scan your S3 bucket and create a metadata catalog that describes the structure of your data. Set the crawler to point to the S3 bucket and specify the output database where the metadata will be stored.

Step 6: Run the Glue Crawler

Execute the Glue Crawler you configured. This will automatically create tables in the Glue Data Catalog based on the data files in your S3 bucket. The crawler identifies formats such as CSV or JSON and infers the schema of the data, making it ready for further processing or querying.

Step 7: Query and Transform Data with AWS Glue Jobs

Create and run an AWS Glue Job to process the data. Glue Jobs can be written in Python or Scala and allow for complex ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) operations. Use the Glue Data Catalog tables created by your crawler to perform necessary transformations on your data, and write output to a destination of your choice, such as another S3 bucket or a data warehouse like Amazon Redshift.

By following these steps, you can effectively move data from Recurly to S3 and process it with AWS Glue, all without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
