Automated ETL Pipeline for Weather Data

Overview

This project is an Automated ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) Pipeline designed to collect, process, and store weather data from various sources. The pipeline ensures seamless data integration for analytics, reporting, and visualization.

Features

• Automated Data Extraction: Retrieves weather data from APIs, CSV files, or databases.
• Data Transformation: Cleans, formats, and enriches the data to ensure consistency.
• Efficient Data Loading: Stores the processed data into a database or a cloud storage solution.
• Scheduled Execution: Uses cron jobs or workflow orchestration tools for automation.
• Logging & Monitoring: Tracks data processing stages and errors.

Technologies Used

• Python: Main scripting language for ETL tasks.
• Pandas: Data manipulation and transformation.
• SQL / PostgreSQL: Database storage.
• Apache Airflow / Prefect: Workflow orchestration.
• APIs / Web Scraping: For data extraction from online sources.
• AWS S3 / Google Cloud Storage (Optional): Cloud-based data storage.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed
• PostgreSQL or any other database service (optional)
• Required Python packages (listed in requirements.txt)

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/Automated-ETL-Pipeline-for-Weather-Data.git
   cd Automated-ETL-Pipeline-for-Weather-Data

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Configure the .env file with API keys, database credentials, and other configurations.

Usage

Run the ETL script manually:

python main.py

Or schedule the pipeline using Airflow, cron jobs, or Prefect.
