CLI for Steam Store Data Ingestion ETL Pipeline

Steam Sales Analysis

Overview

Welcome to Steam Sales Analysis – an innovative project designed to harness the power of data for insights into the gaming world. We have meticulously crafted an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipeline that covers every essential step: data retrieval, processing, validation, and ingestion. By leveraging the robust Steamspy and Steam APIs, we collect comprehensive game-related metadata, details, and sales figures.

But we don’t stop there. The culmination of this data journey sees the information elegantly loaded into a MySQL database hosted on Aiven Cloud. From this solid foundation, we take it a step further: the data is analyzed and visualized through dynamic and interactive Tableau dashboards. This transforms raw numbers into actionable insights, offering a clear window into gaming trends and sales performance. Join us as we dive deep into the data and bring the world of gaming to life!

• fetch_steamspy_metadata: Fetch metadata from SteamSpy Database and ingest metadata into Custom Database
• fetch_steamstore_data: Fetch from Steam Store Database and ingest data into Custom Database

Detailed Command Usage

steamstore clean_steam_data

Clean the Steam Data and ingest into the Custom Database

Usage:

$ steamstore clean_steam_data [OPTIONS]

Options:

• --batch-size INTEGER: Number of records to process in each batch. [default: 1000]
• --help: Show this message and exit.

steamstore fetch_steamspy_data

Fetch from SteamSpy Database and ingest data into Custom Database

Usage:

$ steamstore fetch_steamspy_data [OPTIONS]

Options:

• --batch-size INTEGER: Number of records to process in each batch. [default: 1000]
• --help: Show this message and exit.

steamstore fetch_steamspy_metadata

• --help: Show this message and exit.

steamstore fetch_steamstore_data

Fetch from Steam Store Database and ingest data into Custom Database

Usage:

$ steamstore fetch_steamstore_data [OPTIONS]

Options:

• --batch-size INTEGER: Number of app IDs to process in each batch. [default: 5]
• --bulk-factor INTEGER: Factor to determine when to perform a bulk insert (batch_size * bulk_factor). [default: 10]
• --reverse / --no-reverse: Process app IDs in reverse order. [default: no-reverse]
• --help: Show this message and exit.

Database Integration

The project connects to a MySQL database hosted on Aiven Cloud using the credentials provided in the .env file. Ensure that the database is properly set up and accessible with the provided credentials.

Running Individual Parts of the ETL Pipeline

To execute the ETL pipeline, use the following commands:

1. To collect metadata:

   steamstore fetch_steamspy_metadata
   

2. To collect SteamSpy data:

   steamstore fetch_steamspy_data --batch-size 1000
   

3. To collect Steam data:

   steamstore fetch_steamstore_data --batch-size 5 --bulk-factor 10
   

4. To clean Steam data:

   steamstore clean_steam_data --batch-size 1000
   

This will start the process of retrieving data from the Steamspy and Steam APIs, processing and validating it, and then loading it into the MySQL database.
