Hi guys 🙂 I need connector/extractor tasks (to load data into a data lake) for several API services, starting with GoogleAds task group for interacting with the Google Ads API (connecting, pulling data). Thinking also about integrating Hubspot, Microsoft Ads, Facebook Ads, DV360, Supermetrics, and other marketing data sources. I'm writing it here so maybe I can get some guidance or if there's already some effort which I could join?

Hi @Michal Zawadzki! Most of the Tasks in the Task Library are community contributed. You can check the source code for one of them. They aren’t hard to write. It’s very easy to extend Prefect. You’re also welcome to make a pull request for the Tasks you write

Thanks Kevin :) Was just wondering if there are any plans for the task library other than just adding new tasks. I'll be happy to contribute anyhow.

Hey, you can search the issues for the ones tagged with the Task library: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22task+library%22

That's very helpful, thanks a lot.

As long as you can do it in Python, it can be done in Prefect. Yes it can be cheaper, although to be fair, those services manage the compute needed to move the data while we don’t.

They do it but they add a significant margin over what you can accomplish even using a reserved VM setup. I think this stuff can be done an order of magnitude cheaper. You can already see it with some proprietary tools like Azure's Copy Tool. I think it can eventually be done with Prefect as well.
