Amplitude > Google Cloud Storage > Google BigQuery

Export your Amplitude data to Google BigQuery for big data analysis. This script will download all events & properties from the Amplitude Export API, parse the data and prepare a data job for Google BigQuery by storing the data for backup purposes in Google Cloud Storage.

Read more about this integration here on the blog of Martijn Scheijbeler.

Features / Support

• Download data for a full day from Amplitude using the Export API
• Parse the data to match data types in Google BigQuery
• Export new parsed files for a load data job in Google BigQuery
• Store backup data in Google Cloud Storage
• Cleans up after use, all temporary files will be deleted.

Quick start:

1. Clone this repository: git clone [email protected]:MartijnSch/amplitude-bigquery.git
2. Fill in your Amplitude Account ID: ACCOUNT_ID, you can find this in Amplitude under your account settings: Settings > Projects
3. Fill in your Amplitude API Key & Secret Key, you can find this in Amplitude under your account settings: Settings > Projects
4. Create a new project on Google Cloud Platform
5. Add the Project ID to the script
6. Activate Google Cloud Storage and Google BigQuery + filled in your billing details
7. Create a bucket in Google Cloud storage with two folders: export & import
8. Load both schemas (bigquery-schema-events.json & bigquery-schema-events-properties.json) into Google BigQuery to create the tables
9. Adjust the Constant variables in amplitude-bigquery.py
10. Run the script via: python amplitude-bigquery.py
11. Look at the backup files in Google Cloud Storage and see the data in Google BigQuery

BigQuery Schemas

To add the events and events properties to Google BigQuery you'll need to create the two tables. You'll find the JSON schema in the files in this repository, these are the Schema Text fields that you can also use.

Events:

client_event_time:TIMESTAMP,ip_address:STRING,library:STRING,dma:STRING,user_creation_time:TIMESTAMP,insert_id:STRING,schema:INTEGER,processed_time:TIMESTAMP,client_upload_time:TIMESTAMP,app:INTEGER,user_id:STRING,city:STRING,event_type:STRING,device_carrier:STRING,location_lat:STRING,event_time:TIMESTAMP,platform:STRING,is_attribution_event:BOOLEAN,os_version:INTEGER,paying:BOOLEAN,amplitude_id:INTEGER,device_type:STRING,sample_rate:STRING,device_manufacturer:STRING,start_version:STRING,uuid:STRING,version_name:STRING,location_lng:STRING,server_upload_time:TIMESTAMP,event_id:INTEGER,device_id:STRING,device_family:STRING,os_name:STRING,adid:STRING,amplitude_event_type:STRING,device_brand:STRING,country:STRING,device_model:STRING,language:STRING,region:STRING,session_id:INTEGER,idfa:STRING

Events Properties:

property_type:STRING,insert_id:STRING,key:STRING,value:STRING
