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 Shortio connector in Airbyte

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

Set up Google PubSub for your extracted Shortio data

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

Configure the Shortio to Google PubSub 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 Shortio to Google PubSub Manually

Begin by familiarizing yourself with the Short.io API documentation. Identify the endpoints that allow you to fetch the data you need. You will need API keys and details on how to authenticate requests to access the data programmatically.

Set up a server environment where you can run scripts or applications. This can be a local machine or a cloud-based virtual machine. Ensure you have the necessary programming environment installed, such as Python, Node.js, or any other language you're comfortable with that supports HTTP requests.

Develop a script to make authenticated HTTP requests to Short.io's API. Use the appropriate endpoints to fetch the data you need. Ensure your script can handle pagination and rate limits according to Short.io’s API restrictions.

Once the data is fetched, process and format it as needed. This step may involve cleaning the data, converting it into JSON or another suitable format, and ensuring it’s ready to be sent to Google Pub/Sub.

Install and configure the Google Cloud SDK on your server. Authenticate with your Google Cloud account and set the appropriate project and region. Ensure you have permissions to use Google Pub/Sub services.

Develop a script to publish your formatted data to a Google Pub/Sub topic. Use the Google Cloud Client Libraries for your programming language to simplify the process of creating a topic (if not already created) and publishing messages.

Finally, automate the execution of your scripts using a task scheduler like Cron (on UNIX systems) or Task Scheduler (on Windows). Set up a schedule that suits your data transfer needs, ensuring that your data is regularly and reliably moved from Short.io to Google Pub/Sub.

By following these steps, you will be able to move data from Short.io to Google Pub/Sub without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.

FAQs

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.

Shorten, personalize, and share fully branded short URLs.

Short.io's API provides access to various types of data related to URL shortening and link management. The categories of data that can be accessed through the API include:  

1. Short links: Information about the short links created using the Short.io platform, including the original long URL, the shortened URL, and the date and time the link was created.  
2. Clicks: Data related to the clicks on the short links, including the number of clicks, the location of the clicks, and the device used to access the link.  
3. Users: Information about the users who have created accounts on the Short.io platform, including their email addresses, names, and account settings.  
4. Domains: Data related to the domains used to create short links, including the domain name, the number of links created using the domain, and the status of the domain.  
5. Teams: Information about the teams created on the Short.io platform, including the team name, the team members, and the team settings.  

Overall, the Short.io API provides access to a wide range of data related to URL shortening and link management, allowing developers to build custom applications and integrations that leverage this data.

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 Short.io to Google Pubsub 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 Short.io to Google Pubsub and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud. 

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.

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.
