Chess

chess is an online platform offering chess games, tournaments, lessons, and more.

Bruin supports Chess as a source for Ingestr assets, and you can use it to ingest data from Chess into your data warehouse.

In order to set up Chess connection, you need to add a configuration item in the .bruin.yml file and in asset file.

Follow the steps below to correctly set up Chess as a data source and run ingestion.

Step 1: Add a connection to .bruin.yml file

To connect to Chess, you need to add a configuration item to the connections section of the .bruin.yml file. This configuration must comply with the following schema:

yaml
    connections:
      chess:
        - name: "my-chess"
          players:
            - "MagnusCarlsen"
            - "Hikaru"
  • players: A list of players usernames for which you want to fetch data.

Step 2: Create an asset file for data ingestion

To ingest data from Chess, you need to create an asset configuration file. This file defines the data flow from the source to the destination. Create a YAML file (e.g., chess_ingestion.yml) inside the assets folder and add the following content:

yaml
name: public.chess
type: ingestr
connection: postgres

parameters:
  source_connection: my-chess
  source_table: 'profiles'

  destination: postgres
  • name: The name of the asset.
  • type: Specifies the type of the asset. Set this to ingestr to use the ingestr data pipeline.
  • connection: This is the destination connection, which defines where the data should be stored. For example: postgres indicates that the ingested data will be stored in a Postgres database.
  • source_connection: The name of the Chess connection defined in .bruin.yml.
  • source_table: The name of the data table in Chess that you want to ingest. For example, profiles is the table of Chess that you want to ingest. You can find the available source tables in Chess here.

Step 3: Run asset to ingest data

bruin run assets/chess_ingestion.yml

As a result of this command, Bruin will ingest data from the given Chess table into your Postgres database.
