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 The Guardian API?

What data can you extract from The Guardian API?

The Guardian API provides access to a wide range of data related to news and media. The types of data that can be accessed through the API can be broadly categorized as follows:

1. News articles: The API provides access to news articles published by The Guardian, including text, images, and multimedia content.
2. Tags: The API provides access to tags associated with news articles, which can be used to categorize and filter content.
3. Sections: The API provides access to sections of The Guardian website, such as news, sport, and culture.
4. Contributors: The API provides access to information about contributors to The Guardian, including authors, editors, and photographers.
5. Comments: The API provides access to comments posted by readers on news articles published by The Guardian.
6. User data: The API provides access to user data, such as user profiles and preferences, for users who have registered with The Guardian website.

Overall, The Guardian API provides a rich source of data for developers and researchers interested in news and media.

How do I transfer data from The Guardian API?

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 The Guardian API 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 The Guardian API 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.

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.
