How to Sync to Manually
Step 1: Export Data from Strava
Begin by exporting your data from Strava. Log into your Strava account on the web, go to your account settings, and select the option to download your data archive. This will typically be a ZIP file containing various CSV or JSON files with your activity data.
Step 2: Extract and Organize the Data
Once you have downloaded your ZIP file, extract it to a local directory on your computer. Review the contents to understand the structure of the data. Organize the relevant files, such as activity data, into a format that aligns with your intended schema in Firebolt.
Step 3: Prepare Data for Transformation
Open the extracted data files using a tool such as Excel or a text editor. Examine the data format and clean any inconsistencies or unnecessary data. Rename columns or adjust data types as necessary to match the schema you plan to implement in Firebolt.
Step 4: Install Firebolt CLI
To interact with Firebolt directly, download and install the Firebolt Command Line Interface (CLI) on your machine. Follow the Firebolt documentation for installation instructions, ensuring you have the necessary authentication credentials set up.
Step 5: Create Tables in Firebolt
Access Firebolt using the CLI or web interface and create the appropriate tables to store your Strava data. Use SQL commands to define the schema, ensuring the data types and structures match those of your cleaned and prepared Strava data.
Step 6: Load Data into Firebolt
Use the Firebolt CLI to load your prepared data files into the newly created tables. You can use the `COPY` command in Firebolt to specify the file location and format, ensuring that data is correctly inserted into the respective tables.
Step 7: Verify Data Integrity
After loading the data, run queries in Firebolt to verify that your data has been transferred correctly. Check for any discrepancies or errors in the data and make necessary adjustments by reloading or updating records to ensure data integrity.
