What is Yandex Metrica

Yandex Metrica assists you to get narrative reports and record the actions of personal users, to detect what people are seeking for on your site. It is a web analytics tool that you can easily use to collect data about visitors to your website and their sessions. One can easily use Yandex Metrica web analytics tool to get visual reports and video recordings of user actions and track traffic sources. Yandex Metrica is the best plugin for WordPress.

What is DuckDB

DuckDB is an in-process SQL OLAP database management system. It has strong support for SQL. DuckDB is borrowing the SQLite shell implementation. Each database is a single file on disk. It’s analogous to “ SQLite for analytical (OLAP) workloads” (direct comparison on the SQLite vs DuckDB paper here), whereas SQLite is for OLTP ones. But it can handle vast amounts of data locally. It’s the smaller, lighter version of Apache Druid and other OLAP technologies.

Prerequisites

A Yandex Metrica account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
A DuckDB account.
An active Airbyte Cloud account, or you can also choose to use Airbyte Open Source locally. You can follow the instructions to set up Airbyte on your system using docker-compose.

Airbyte is an open-source data integration platform that consolidates and streamlines the process of extracting and loading data from multiple data sources to data warehouses. It offers pre-built connectors, including Yandex Metrica and DuckDB, for seamless data migration.

When using Airbyte to move data from Yandex Metrica to DuckDB, it extracts data from Yandex Metrica using the source connector, converts it into a format DuckDB can ingest using the provided schema, and then loads it into DuckDB via the destination connector. This allows businesses to leverage their Yandex Metrica data for advanced analytics and insights within DuckDB, simplifying the ETL process and saving significant time and resources.

Step 1: Set up Yandex Metrica as a source connector

1. First, you need to have a Yandex Metrica account and access to the API key. If you don't have one, you can create it by following the instructions on the Yandex Metrica website.
2. Once you have the API key, go to the Airbyte dashboard and click on "Sources" on the left-hand side menu.
3. Click on the "Create a new source" button and select "Yandex Metrica" from the list of available connectors.
4. Enter a name for your source and click on "Next".
5. In the "Connection Configuration" section, enter your Yandex Metrica API key in the "API Key" field.
6. Select the desired data range for your source in the "Date Range" field.
7. Choose the metrics and dimensions you want to include in your source by selecting them from the dropdown menus in the "Metrics" and "Dimensions" sections.
8. Click on "Test" to verify that the connection is working properly.
9. If the test is successful, click on "Create" to save your Yandex Metrica source connector on Airbyte.

Step 2: Set up DuckDB as a destination connector

1. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on the "Add Destination" button located in the top right corner of the screen.
3. Scroll down the list of available destinations until you find "DuckDB" and click on it.
4. Fill in the required information for your DuckDB database, including the host, port, database name, username, and password.
5. Test the connection to ensure that the information you provided is correct and that Airbyte can successfully connect to your DuckDB database.
6. If the connection is successful, click on the "Save" button to save your DuckDB destination connector.
7. You can now use this connector to transfer data from your source connectors to your DuckDB database. Simply select the DuckDB destination connector when setting up your data integration pipelines in Airbyte.

Step 3: Set up a connection to sync your Yandex Metrica data to DuckDB

Once you've successfully connected Yandex Metrica as a data source and DuckDB as a destination in Airbyte, you can set up a data pipeline between them with the following steps:

Create a new connection: On the Airbyte dashboard, navigate to the 'Connections' tab and click the '+ New Connection' button.
Choose your source: Select Yandex Metrica from the dropdown list of your configured sources.
Select your destination: Choose DuckDB from the dropdown list of your configured destinations.
Configure your sync: Define the frequency of your data syncs based on your business needs. Airbyte allows both manual and automatic scheduling for your data refreshes.
Select the data to sync: Choose the specific Yandex Metrica objects you want to import data from towards DuckDB. You can sync all data or select specific tables and fields.
Select the sync mode for your streams: Choose between full refreshes or incremental syncs (with deduplication if you want), and this for all streams or at the stream level. Incremental is only available for streams that have a primary cursor.
Test your connection: Click the 'Test Connection' button to make sure that your setup works. If the connection test is successful, save your configuration.
Start the sync: If the test passes, click 'Set Up Connection'. Airbyte will start moving data from Yandex Metrica to DuckDB according to your settings.

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 Yandex Metrica?

How do I transfer data from Yandex Metrica?

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 Yandex Metrica to DuckDB 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 Yandex Metrica to DuckDB 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.
