Python Pipeline API to MySQL to Snowflake

I decided that I liked doing some of my coding in python, even if I have to manually kick it off at the moment I might go with the safe option of a $5 a month python anywhere package to run on a schedule in the cloud or I could put in as an AWS lambda function or in Azure but I don't want to accidentally rack up a bill so might wait until I am further into training on them. 

So in this code I have:

  • Used dotenv to store all parameters and passwords as environment variables so I can post my scrips without modification and store them in git. (with the env file set to gitignore). 
  • Retrieved the values above and called the weather API. Flattened the json to get all the columns. Put the new rows into the table in MySQL. 
  • Retrieved the table from MySQL and done a drop and replace into Snowflake. 

My Code: 

The table:

Creating a date dimension in dbt and Snowflake

A lot of the data that I am working with doesn't lend itself to creating complex star schemas (more on data modelling in a later post) however I want to try and at least want to go to some effort. The one thing that pretty much all my tables have in common is date, so I want to build a date dimension. My strength training happens on a day, my running and walking, parkrun and hopefully the weather data I intend to integrate will have a date on it. This means if I have a date dimension and I aggregate my various facts at date level I can use them together in a single visualisation.  There are various methods I could have used to create the date dimension and I went with using the dbt spine, this was really simple using the utilities:  Used the date functions in Snowflake to extract relevant fields such as year, month, day in words and year month etc.
