News API to Metabase Integration
AI-first ETL from News API into Metabase. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads News API into Metabase
Datrise syncs News API's articles, sources, headlines, publication dates, categories, and search queries into Metabase as clean SQL tables Metabase auto-discovers. Flexible or custom fields land in flattened columns for the question builder, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as temporal columns for trends.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses incremental refresh of the connected tables, so re-runs update only what changed. Date-partitioned facts for large questions. Metabase auto-scans schemas, so Datrise uses readable table and column names so the no-code UI stays self-explanatory.
Ideal for self-serve questions and dashboards for whole teams.
