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.

What is RSS?

What data can you extract from RSS?

The RSS API provides access to a variety of data related to news and content syndication. Some of the categories of data that can be accessed through the RSS API include:

- News articles: The API provides access to news articles from a variety of sources, including major news outlets and smaller blogs.
- Headlines: Users can access headlines from news articles, which can be useful for quickly scanning news stories.
- Categories: The API allows users to filter news articles by category, such as sports, entertainment, or politics.
- Dates: Users can search for news articles by date, allowing them to find articles from a specific time period.
- Author information: The API provides information about the authors of news articles, including their names and biographical information.
- Images: Many news articles include images, and the API provides access to these images.
- URLs: The API provides URLs for news articles, which can be useful for sharing or linking to specific articles.

How do I transfer data from RSS?

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 RSS to CSV File as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. Choose a destination (more than 50 available destination databases, data warehouses or lakes) to sync data too and set it up as a destination connector
3. Define which data you want to transfer from RSS to CSV File and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud.

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.
