What is SurveyMonkey

Survey Monkey uses the power of the web to enable individuals and companies to reach unprecedented numbers of respondents to gain insights into almost anything. An experience management company, Momentive Inc. (formerly SurveyMonkey Inc.) uses a cloud-based software to provide service solutions for businesses and individuals needing brand or market insights, information regarding consumers’ product experiences, employee and customer experiences—information of any kind for which surveys can provide useful information to improve products, events, experiences.

What is JSON File Destination

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.

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 SurveyMonkey?

What data can you extract from SurveyMonkey?

SurveyMonkey's API provides access to a wide range of data related to surveys and responses. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through SurveyMonkey's API:

1. Survey data: This includes information about the survey itself, such as the survey title, description, and questions.
2. Response data: This includes information about the responses to the survey, such as the respondent's answers to each question.
3. User data: This includes information about the users who created the survey, such as their name, email address, and account type.
4. Team data: This includes information about the teams that the user belongs to, such as the team name and members.
5. Template data: This includes information about the survey templates available on SurveyMonkey, such as the template name and description.
6. Collector data: This includes information about the collectors used to distribute the survey, such as the collector type and status.
7. Analytic data: This includes information about the survey results, such as the response rate, completion time, and average score.

Overall, SurveyMonkey's API provides access to a comprehensive set of data related to surveys and responses, which can be used to gain insights and make data-driven decisions.

How do I transfer data from SurveyMonkey?

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 SurveyMonkey to JSON 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 SurveyMonkey to JSON 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.
