Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a cloud-based object storage service that provides developers and IT teams with secure, durable, and scalable storage for their data. It allows users to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the web, making it easy to build and scale applications, backup and archive data, and analyze data. S3 is designed to provide high availability and durability, with data automatically replicated across multiple availability zones within a region. It also offers a range of features such as versioning, lifecycle policies, and access control to help users manage their data effectively.
JSON File is a tool that is used to store and exchange data in a structured format. JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation, and it is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. JSON files are commonly used in web applications to transfer data between the server and the client, and they are also used in many other programming languages and platforms. JSON files consist of key-value pairs, where each key is a string and each value can be a string, number, boolean, array, or another JSON object. The syntax of JSON is similar to that of JavaScript, but it is a separate language that can be used independently of JavaScript. JSON File is a tool that allows users to create, edit, and view JSON files. It provides a user-friendly interface for working with JSON data, and it can be used by developers, data analysts, and anyone else who needs to work with structured data. With JSON File, users can easily create and modify JSON files, and they can also validate the syntax of their JSON data to ensure that it is well-formed and error-free.
1. Open the Airbyte dashboard and click on "Sources" from the left-hand menu.
2. Click on the "Create Source" button and select "S3" from the list of available connectors.

4. Enter your AWS access key ID and secret access key in the respective fields. You can find these credentials in your AWS account under "Security Credentials".
5. Select the AWS region where your S3 bucket is located from the dropdown menu.
6. Enter the name of your S3 bucket in the "Bucket Name" field.
7. If your S3 bucket is not in the root directory, enter the path to the directory in the "Path Prefix" field.
8. If you want to include only certain files in your data sync, you can enter a file pattern in the "File Pattern" field. For example, "*.csv" will only include CSV files.
9. Click on "Test" to verify your credentials and connection to the S3 bucket.
10. If the test is successful, click on "Create Source" to save your S3 source connector.Once your S3 source connector is set up, you can use it to create a new Airbyte pipeline and sync data from your S3 bucket to your destination of choice.
1. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Scroll down until you find the "JSON File" destination connector and click on it.
3. Click on the "Create new connection" button.
4. Enter a name for your connection and click on the "Next" button.
5. Fill in the required fields for your JSON File destination, such as the file path and format.
6. Test the connection by clicking on the "Test" button.
7. If the test is successful, click on the "Save & Sync" button to save your connection and start syncing data to your JSON File destination.
8. You can also schedule your syncs by clicking on the "Schedule" button and selecting the frequency and time for your syncs.
9. To view your synced data, navigate to the file path you specified in your JSON File destination and open the file in a text editor or JSON viewer.
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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Amazon S3's API provides access to a wide range of data types, including:
1. Object data: This includes the actual files stored in S3 buckets, such as images, videos, documents, and other types of files.
2. Metadata: S3 stores metadata about each object, including information such as the object's size, creation date, and last modified date.
3. Access control data: S3 provides access control mechanisms to restrict access to objects in a bucket. The API provides access to information about access control policies and permissions.
4. Bucket data: S3 buckets are containers for objects. The API provides access to information about buckets, such as their names, creation dates, and region.
5. Logging data: S3 can log access requests to objects in a bucket. The API provides access to these logs, which can be used for auditing and compliance purposes.
6. Inventory data: S3 can generate inventory reports that provide information about the objects stored in a bucket. The API provides access to these reports.
7. Metrics data: S3 can generate metrics about the usage of a bucket, such as the number of requests and the amount of data transferred. The API provides access to these metrics.
