How to Sync to Manually
Step 1: Export Data from Typeform
First, log into your Typeform account and navigate to the form data you wish to export. Use the built-in feature to export your response data in a CSV format. This can typically be done by selecting the form, going to the results or responses section, and choosing the export option. Save the CSV file locally on your computer.
Step 2: Set Up AWS CLI and SDK
Ensure that you have the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) and AWS SDK installed on your computer. These tools will be used to interact with AWS services. You can install the AWS CLI from the official AWS website and use package managers like pip for Python-based SDKs. Configure the CLI with your AWS credentials using `aws configure`.
Step 3: Create a DynamoDB Table
Log into your AWS Management Console, navigate to DynamoDB, and create a new table. Define the primary key attributes that will uniquely identify your records. For instance, you might use a form response ID or a combination of participant ID and timestamp. Note the table name and key structure for use in later steps.
Step 4: Parse CSV Data
Use a scripting language like Python to parse the exported CSV file. Libraries such as `csv` in Python can help read the CSV data and transform it into a dictionary or JSON format. This transformation is crucial for preparing the data for insertion into DynamoDB, where it needs to be in a JSON-like format.
Step 5: Prepare Data for DynamoDB
Adjust the parsed data to match the schema of your DynamoDB table. Ensure that each data item includes the primary key attributes and any other necessary fields. Convert data types as required by DynamoDB, such as changing number fields to integers or floats and ensuring strings are properly formatted.
Step 6: Write a Script to Insert Data
Use the AWS SDK for your chosen programming language to write a script that inserts data into DynamoDB. For Python, for example, use `boto3` library. The script should iterate over each data item from the parsed CSV and use the `put_item` method to add it to the DynamoDB table. Handle exceptions to manage any errors during insertion, such as duplicate keys or format mismatches.
Step 7: Run and Validate the Data Transfer
Execute your script to transfer the data from the CSV file to DynamoDB. After running the script, validate the data transfer by checking the DynamoDB table through the AWS Management Console. Ensure that all records are correctly inserted and that the data integrity is maintained by comparing a few sample records with the original CSV data.
This guide provides a structured approach to manually transferring data from Typeform to DynamoDB using AWS tools and programming.
