Load Data Virtuality LDW data to Microsoft Fabric

Data Virtuality Logical Data Warehouse (LDW) is a data virtualization platform that provides a REST API for executing SQL queries and managing data integration tasks. Everything needed to build a working Data Virtuality LDW → Microsoft Fabric pipeline is on this page: the API's base URL, authentication, endpoints, pagination and incremental field — plus a prompt that hands the whole job to your coding agent.

Build your Data Virtuality LDW to Microsoft Fabric pipeline

Paste this prompt into Claude, Codex, or Cursor. The agent does the rest.

That scaffolds a dltHub workspace and installs the dltHub AI harness — the project rules, the secrets-management skill, and the dlt MCP server your agent needs to work safely. From there it reads the Data Virtuality LDW API, proposes the endpoints to load, then writes, runs and validates the pipeline while you review rather than type. Credentials are inspected through MCP tools, so your agent never reads secrets.toml itself. How the LLM-native workflow works →

Prefer to write it yourself? Every fact the agent uses is below.

Data Virtuality LDW API at a glance

These values come from the Data Virtuality LDW API reference — the authoritative source if anything here looks out of date.

How do I authenticate with the Data Virtuality LDW API?

For on-premise, Basic Authentication is used with database username and platform password. For SaaS, token-based authentication involves including a token in the URL path (e.g., https://

//rest/api/...).

1. Get your credentials

1. Log in to the Data Virtuality Platform Web UI. 2. Navigate to the Preferences section. 3. Locate the Proxy configurations and Database Username section. 4. Toggle the switch next to REST to enable it. 5. Click the Copy button to retrieve your REST API link, which contains your unique token in the format: https:////rest. The database username found in the same section is also required for authentication.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

Copy
[sources.data_virtuality_ldw_source]
username = "REPLACE_ME"

dlt reads this file automatically at runtime. With the harness, the setup-secrets skill prompts you for the values and never handles the raw credential in chat. For production, see setting up credentials with dlt.

What Data Virtuality LDW data can I load into Microsoft Fabric?

These are the Data Virtuality LDW endpoints dlt can load into Microsoft Fabric:

---

How do I load only new Data Virtuality LDW records?

The Data Virtuality LDW API reference does not document a timestamp or sequence field for these endpoints, so there is nothing to advertise here as verified. Pick a field from the endpoints table above that increases with every write, then set it as the cursor_path.

Copy
{"name": "sources", "endpoint": {
    "path": "rest/api/source",
    # Replace with a field that increases on every write.
    "incremental": {"cursor_path": "REPLACE_ME", "initial_value": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"},
}}

On the first run dlt loads everything from initial_value; on every run after that it requests only what changed and appends with write_disposition="merge" if you set a primary key. See incremental loading.

What does the generated Data Virtuality LDW pipeline look like?

A standard dlt REST API pipeline — the same code you would write by hand, loading /rest/api/status/ and /rest/api/query from the Data Virtuality LDW API into Microsoft Fabric:

Copy
import dlt
from dlt.sources.rest_api import RESTAPIConfig, rest_api_resources

@dlt.source
def data_virtuality_ldw_source(username=dlt.secrets.value):
    config: RESTAPIConfig = {
        "client": {
            "base_url": "https://<host>/<token>/rest/api/ or http://<host>:8080/rest/api/",
            "auth": {"type": "http_basic", "username": "REPLACE_ME", "password": username},
        },
        "resources": [
            {"name": "sources", "endpoint": {"path": "rest/api/source"}},
            {"name": "query", "endpoint": {"path": "rest/api/query"}}
        ],
    }
    yield from rest_api_resources(config)


def load_data_virtuality_ldw_to_fabric() -> None:
    pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
        pipeline_name="data_virtuality_ldw_pipeline",
        destination="fabric",
        dataset_name="data_virtuality_ldw_data",
    )
    load_info = pipeline.run(data_virtuality_ldw_source())
    print(load_info)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    load_data_virtuality_ldw_to_fabric()

Run it with python data_virtuality_ldw_pipeline.py. The agent iterates on this until it loads cleanly — you review and approve, rather than write it from scratch.

How do I query Data Virtuality LDW data in Microsoft Fabric?

dlt creates one table per resource. Query the loaded data with Python or SQL — or ask your agent to, through the MCP server's execute_sql_query tool.

Python (pandas DataFrame):

Copy
import dlt

data = dlt.pipeline("data_virtuality_ldw_pipeline").dataset()
df = data.status.df()
print(df.head())

SQL:

Copy
SELECT * FROM data_virtuality_ldw_data.status LIMIT 10;

See querying your data with dataset and exploring it in marimo notebooks.

How do I deploy the Data Virtuality LDW to Microsoft Fabric pipeline in production?

The pipeline runs locally, which is ideal for prototyping and one-off analysis. When you need it on a schedule, monitored on every load, and shared with your team, deploy the same dlt code on the dltHub platform — no infrastructure to maintain. The prompt above already ends with "run it on dltHub", so your agent can take it there directly.

• Deploy & schedule — run the pipeline as a managed job with automatic retries.
• Monitor — observable job queues, alerting, and load metrics for every run.
• Transform — promote raw Data Virtuality LDW loads into governed, documented models.
• Visualize & share — explore data in notebooks and publish live dashboards instead of static screenshots.

What other destinations can I load Data Virtuality LDW data to?

dlt loads into any of these — only the destination argument changes:

Set dlt.pipeline(destination="snowflake") and add credentials in .dlt/secrets.toml. On the dltHub platform the same pipeline runs against a managed Iceberg lakehouse. See the full destinations list.
