"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."
Chase Zieman
“Airbyte helped us accelerate our progress by years, compared to our competitors. We don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless. The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.”
Rupak Patel
"With Airbyte, we could just push a few buttons, allow API access, and bring all the data into Google BigQuery. By blending all the different marketing data sources, we can gain valuable insights."
Begin by logging into your Secoda account. Navigate to the dataset you wish to move to BigQuery. Use Secoda's export functionality to download the data. Typically, this will be in CSV or JSON format. Ensure you select the appropriate format that suits your data structure and BigQuery's import capabilities.
Ensure you have the necessary tools installed locally, such as the Google Cloud SDK, which includes the `bq` command-line tool. This tool is critical for interacting with BigQuery. Also, ensure you have access to a terminal or command prompt where you can execute shell commands.
Log into the Google Cloud Console and create a new project if you don’t have one already. Within your project, navigate to BigQuery and create a dataset to hold your imported data. Take note of the dataset ID, as it will be needed later.
Authenticate your local environment with your Google Cloud project. Run `gcloud auth login` to authenticate your Google account and `gcloud config set project [PROJECT_ID]` to set your project. This step ensures that you have the necessary permissions to upload data to BigQuery.
Ensure the exported data from Secoda is clean and formatted correctly for BigQuery. For CSV files, verify that your data adheres to a consistent schema with headers. If using JSON, ensure it is well-structured. Consider splitting large files into smaller chunks if necessary, as BigQuery has limits on file sizes for import.
Before importing into BigQuery, upload your data file to Google Cloud Storage. Use the `gsutil` command-line tool: `gsutil cp [LOCAL_FILE_PATH] gs://[YOUR_BUCKET_NAME]/[FILE_NAME]`. Make sure the bucket is in the same region as your BigQuery dataset to avoid potential issues.
Use the `bq` command-line tool to load the data from Google Cloud Storage into BigQuery. Execute a command like: `bq load --source_format=[CSV/NEWLINE_DELIMITED_JSON] [DATASET_ID].[TABLE_NAME] gs://[YOUR_BUCKET_NAME]/[FILE_NAME]`. You may need to specify schema details if BigQuery cannot infer them from your file. Once completed, verify the data in BigQuery to ensure the import was successful.
By following these steps, you can efficiently move data from Secoda to BigQuery without relying on third-party connectors.
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.
Seconda stands for searchable company data and its mission is to make the experience of exploring, understanding, and using data.Secoda is the first workspace built for data teams. Secoda combines data dictionary, data catalog, data requests, data docs search, and data management compliance in a delightful experience, always connected to your data stack. Secoda has made it way easier to understand what data we have and how to best make use of it. It's a game-changer.
Secoda's API provides access to a wide range of data types, including:
1. Research papers and publications: The API allows users to search and access research papers and publications from various sources.
2. Data sets: The API provides access to a vast collection of data sets from different domains, including finance, healthcare, and social media.
3. News articles: The API enables users to search and access news articles from various sources, including newspapers, magazines, and online news portals.

Overall, Secoda's API provides a comprehensive set of data types that can be used for various applications, including research, analysis, and decision-making.
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.
