All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

Start syncing with Airbyte in 3 easy steps within 10 minutes

Set up a Zoom connector in Airbyte

Connect to Zoom or one of 400+ pre-built or 10,000+ custom connectors through simple account authentication.

Set up AWS Datalake for your extracted Zoom data

Select AWS Datalake where you want to import data from your Zoom source to. You can also choose other cloud data warehouses, databases, data lakes, vector databases, or any other supported Airbyte destinations.

Configure the Zoom to AWS Datalake in Airbyte

This includes selecting the data you want to extract - streams and columns -, the sync frequency, where in the destination you want that data to be loaded.

How to Sync Zoom to AWS Datalake Manually

Begin by accessing your Zoom account and navigating to the "Reports" section. Here, you can manually download the data you need, such as meeting reports, usage reports, or any specific data sets. Export these reports in a CSV format, which is commonly supported for data uploads.

Once you have downloaded the necessary data, inspect and clean it as required. Ensure that the data is in the correct format and structure by removing any unnecessary columns or rows, and handle any missing or inconsistent data entries. This step is crucial for a smooth upload process to your AWS environment.

Log into your AWS Management Console and navigate to the S3 service. Create a new S3 bucket where you will store your Zoom data files. Give your bucket a unique name, choose a region, and configure the bucket settings as per your data storage requirements, such as setting permissions and enabling versioning if necessary.

Use the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the AWS SDKs to upload your prepared Zoom data files to the S3 bucket you created. If using the AWS CLI, you can use the command `aws s3 cp path/to/your/data.csv s3://your-bucket-name/` to upload your files.

With your data in S3, set up AWS Glue to catalog your data. In the AWS Glue Console, create a new crawler, specify your S3 bucket as the data source, and configure the crawler to extract metadata from your CSV files. Run the crawler to populate the AWS Glue Data Catalog with table metadata.

After cataloging, if necessary, create an AWS Glue ETL job to transform your data into a format suitable for analysis or querying. This can involve tasks such as data normalization, filtering, or enrichment. Define your ETL logic using AWS Glue's built-in transformations or custom scripts in Python or Scala.

Finally, utilize Amazon Athena to query your data directly from the AWS Glue Data Catalog. Launch Athena from the AWS Management Console, configure it to read from the Glue Data Catalog, and start querying your Zoom data using SQL. This enables you to perform ad-hoc analysis and derive insights without moving data out of your AWS environment.

By following these steps, you will be able to efficiently move and manage your Zoom data within AWS, enabling seamless data storage, transformation, and analysis.

FAQs

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.

Zoom offers a communications platform that connects people through video, voice, chat, and content sharing. It has an easy, reliable cloud platform for video and audio conferencing, collaboration, chat, and webinars across mobile devices, desktops, telephones, and room systems. Zoom unifies cloud video conferencing,simple online meetings, and group messaging into one easy-to-use platform. The company's mission is to create a people-centric cloud service that transforms the real-time collaboration experience and improves the quality and effectiveness of communications.

Zoom's API provides access to a wide range of data related to Zoom meetings, webinars, users, and accounts. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through Zoom's API:  

1. Meetings: Information related to Zoom meetings, such as meeting ID, topic, start and end time, duration, participants, and recording.  
2. Webinars: Data related to Zoom webinars, including webinar ID, topic, start and end time, duration, attendees, and recording.  
3. Users: Information about Zoom users, such as user ID, name, email address, and account type.  
4. Accounts: Data related to Zoom accounts, including account ID, name, email address, and billing information.  
5. Reports: Various reports related to Zoom meetings and webinars, such as attendance reports, participant reports, and usage reports.  
6. Recordings: Information related to Zoom meeting and webinar recordings, including recording ID, name, duration, and download links.  
7. Settings: Data related to Zoom account and meeting settings, such as default meeting settings, user settings, and account settings.  

Overall, Zoom's API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to analyze and optimize Zoom meetings and webinars, as well as manage Zoom accounts and users.

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 Zoom to AWS Datalake 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 Zoom to AWS Datalake and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud. 

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.

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.
