How to Sync to Manually
Step 1: Access Xero API
Begin by accessing the Xero API to extract the necessary data. You will need to register your application with Xero to obtain the API keys. Use these credentials to authenticate your requests. The API follows the OAuth 2.0 protocol, so ensure you handle the token exchange securely.
Step 2: Extract Data from Xero
Use the Xero API to pull data into a local environment. You can write scripts in a language like Python to access endpoints such as invoices, contacts, or any other relevant data. Ensure you handle pagination if your data set is large. Save the data in a structured format like JSON or CSV.
Step 3: Data Cleaning and Transformation
Once you have the data, clean and transform it to fit Firebolt's data schema. This may involve renaming fields, changing data types, or normalizing data. Use a scripting language or a tool like Pandas in Python to manipulate your data efficiently.
Step 4: Set Up Firebolt Environment
Before loading data, ensure your Firebolt environment is set up correctly. This involves creating the necessary tables and specifying the correct data types that match your transformed data. Use Firebolt's SQL interface to define your schema.
Step 5: Convert Data to Firebolt-Compatible Format
Convert your transformed data into a format that Firebolt can ingest, such as Parquet or CSV. For large datasets, Parquet is recommended due to its columnar storage and reduced file size, which Firebolt handles efficiently.
Step 6: Upload Data to Firebolt
Use Firebolt's built-in loading capabilities to upload your data. You can use Firebolt's SQL interface to execute a COPY command from a cloud storage service like Amazon S3, where you have uploaded your data files. Ensure your files are accessible and permissions are set correctly.
Step 7: Verify Data Integrity
After loading the data, run queries in Firebolt to ensure the integrity and accuracy of your data. Compare a sample of records between Xero and Firebolt to verify that the data has been transferred correctly and completely. Adjust your extraction and transformation scripts if discrepancies are found.
By following these steps, you can manually move data from Xero to Firebolt without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
