Taboola
Taboola helps you create targeted advertising campaigns to market your products and services to the most receptive and relevant audiences and drives up clicks, traffic and conversions.
You can replicate the data associated with your Taboola account and the campaigns to a Destination of your choice using Hevo Pipelines.
Hevo uses the Taboola Backstage API to replicate the data present in your Taboola account to the desired Destination database or data warehouse for scalable analysis.
For creating Pipelines using this Source, Hevo provides you a fully managed BigQuery data warehouse as a possible Destination. This option remains available till the time you set up your first BigQuery Destination irrespective of any other Destinations that you may have. With the managed warehouse, you are only charged the cost that Hevo incurs for your project in Google BigQuery. The invoice is generated at the end of each month and payment is recovered as per the payment instrument you have set up. You can now create your Pipeline and directly start analyzing your Source data. Read Hevo Managed Google BigQuery.
Prerequisites
-
An active Taboola account from which data is to be ingested exists.
-
You are assigned the Team Administrator, Team Collaborator, or Pipeline Administrator role in Hevo to create the Pipeline.
-
The client ID and client secret for the account. The client secret is shared by the Taboola team via email during account onboarding.
Configuring Taboola as a Source
Perform the following steps to configure Taboola as the Source in your Pipeline:
-
Click PIPELINES in the Navigation Bar.
-
Click + CREATE in the Pipelines List View.
-
In the Select Source Type page, select Taboola.
-
In the Configure your Taboola Source page, specify the following:
-
Pipeline Name: A unique name for the Pipeline, not exceeding 255 characters.
-
Client ID: The Client ID of your Taboola advertiser account
-
Client Secret: The Client Secret of your Taboola advertiser account
NOTE: The Client ID and Client Secret are shared by your Taboola Account Manager in the onboarding email communication. You can request these again from the Taboola team if required.
-
Advertiser Accounts: This field is displayed once you enter the correct Client ID and Secret. Select the advertiser accounts whose data you want to ingest.
-
Historical Sync Duration: The duration for which you want to ingest the existing data from the Source. Default duration: 1 Year.
Note: If you select All Available Data, Hevo ingests all the data available in your Taboola account since January 01, 2018.
-
-
Click TEST & CONTINUE.
-
Proceed to configuring the data ingestion and setting up the Destination.
Data Replication
Default Pipeline Frequency | Minimum Pipeline Frequency | Maximum Pipeline Frequency | Custom Frequency Range (Hrs) |
---|---|---|---|
3 Hrs | 1 Hr | 24 Hrs | 1-24 |
Note: The custom frequency must be set in hours, as an integer value. For example, 1, 2, 3 but not 1.5 or 1.75.
-
Historical Data: In the first run of the Pipeline, Hevo ingests historical data for all the reports on the basis of the historical sync duration selected at the time of creating the Pipeline and loads it to the Destination. Default duration: 1 Year.
-
Incremental Data: Once the historical data ingestion is complete, every subsequent run of the Pipeline fetches new and updated data for the reports.
-
Data Refresh: Data for the last 30 days is refreshed on a rolling basis for all report objects.
Schema and Primary Keys
Hevo uses the following schema to upload the records in the Destination database.
To determine the primary keys for replicating the data:
-
If the primary key list count in the Source object is > 3, the
__hevo_id
is used as the single primary key -
For fewer than three primary keys in the Source object, the individual fields are retained as primary keys.
