How to Sync Snapchat Marketing to Typesense Manually

Begin by manually extracting the necessary data from Snapchat Marketing. Log into your Snapchat Business account, navigate to the Ads Manager, and identify the data you wish to export. Typically, this would be campaign performance data, audience insights, or ad metrics. Use the export feature to download this data as a CSV or Excel file.

Once you have your data file, open it in a spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. Review the data to ensure it is complete and error-free. Remove any unnecessary columns or rows and clean up any discrepancies. This preparation step is crucial to ensure that the data is in the best shape for transformation.

Typesense requires data in JSON format. Use a script or online tool to convert your cleaned CSV or Excel data to JSON. If you are comfortable with programming, Python's Pandas library can be an effective tool to read the CSV and convert it to JSON using the `to_json()` method. Ensure that the JSON structure aligns with the schema you plan to use in Typesense.

If you haven't already, install Typesense on your server. Follow the official installation guide to set up a Typesense cluster. Once installed, configure the server settings such as API keys, memory allocations, and other preferences according to your requirements. Ensure that Typesense is running and accessible.

Define and create a collection in Typesense that corresponds to the structure of your JSON data. This involves specifying the schema, which includes fields and their types, such as string, int, and float. Use the Typesense API or dashboard to create the collection and verify that it is correctly set up.

With your JSON data and a configured collection ready, use the Typesense API to upload the data. You can use HTTP POST requests to send your JSON data to the Typesense collection. Ensure that you handle authentication by including the API key in your requests. Test with a small batch of data first to ensure that the upload process works correctly.

After uploading the data, perform a series of queries to verify that the data has been correctly indexed in Typesense. Use the Typesense API to perform search operations and ensure that the data is searchable and retrieves as expected. Check for any errors or discrepancies in the data and address them as needed to ensure data integrity.

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.

Snapchat is a messaging app that enables people to send text, photo, and video messages one-on-one or via group messaging. Some posts disappear quickly, while other features allow 24-hour replay or the ability to save. It offers a unique spin on marketing strategies, as it is not the traditional business marketing platform. For businesses that want to present their brand with personality, think outside-the-box, and have a little less ad competition for their post, Snapchat Marketing is the perfect solution.

Snapchat Marketing's API provides access to various types of data that can be used for marketing purposes. The categories of data that can be accessed through the API are as follows:  

1. Ad performance data: This includes data related to the performance of ads such as impressions, clicks, and conversions.  
2. Audience data: This includes data related to the audience such as demographics, interests, and behaviors.  
3. Campaign data: This includes data related to the campaigns such as budget, schedule, and targeting.  
4. Creative data: This includes data related to the creative such as ad format, ad type, and ad size.  
5. Location data: This includes data related to the location such as geofilters, geotags, and location-based targeting.  
6. Engagement data: This includes data related to the engagement such as views, shares, and comments.  
7. Conversion data: This includes data related to the conversion such as app installs, website visits, and purchases.  

Overall, the Snapchat Marketing API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to optimize marketing campaigns and improve ROI.

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 Snapchat Marketing to Typesense 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 Snapchat Marketing to Typesense 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.
