Load Fibery data to DuckDB
Build a Fibery to DuckDB pipeline with your coding agent. One prompt scaffolds it with the dltHub AI harness, plus the Fibery API base URL, auth, endpoints, and incremental loading.
Fibery is a command-based REST API platform for managing workspace entities, databases, views, files, and automation via a single POST endpoint. Everything needed to build a working Fibery → DuckDB 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 Fibery to DuckDB pipeline
Paste this prompt into Claude, Codex, or Cursor. The agent does the rest.
PromptRunuvx dlthub-init@latestto build a pipeline from Fibery to DuckDB and run it on dltHub
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 Fibery 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.
Fibery API at a glance
| Base URL | https://{account}.fibery.io/api/commands |
| Example endpoint | POST api/commands |
| Records found at | items |
| Authentication | all requests require an Authorization header containing either 'Token <api_token>' or 'Bearer <access_token>' — sent in the Authorization header, prefixed Token |
| Pagination | Cursor-based via params.$last-seen-id, next cursor at $last-seen-id (developer-provided placeholder in q/where), page size via query.q/limit (default 1, max 1001). For cursor pagination, paginate by sorting on fibery/id and using q/limit as page size (+1 sentinel). On subsequent pages, add a cursor filter on fibery/id using q/where with ">" and the previous page’s last fibery/id provided via your params (named placeholder $last-seen-id in docs). Stop when a response returns pageSize Entities or fewer. For history endpoint, pagination uses sinceItem and nextPage.hasNext instead of fibery/id cursor. |
| Incremental field | fibery/id |
| Record id | fibery/id |
| API reference | https://developers.fibery.com/guides/getting-started/authentication |
These values come from the Fibery API reference — the authoritative source if anything here looks out of date.
How do I authenticate with the Fibery API?
Fibery supports both static API tokens (using the 'Token' prefix) and OAuth 2.0 access tokens (using the 'Bearer' prefix) in the 'Authorization' HTTP header. All requests must also include 'Content-Type: application/json' header.
1. Get your credentials
- Log in to your Fibery workspace. 2. Click your avatar in the top-right corner and select Settings. 3. Navigate to Integrations -> API (or API Tokens). 4. Click Create new token, provide a name, and copy the generated token. Keep this token secure.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.fibery_source] token = "your_token_here"
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 Fibery data can I load into DuckDB?
These are the Fibery endpoints dlt can load into DuckDB:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| entities | /api/commands | POST | Query entities using JSON-RPC-like commands | |
| schema | /api/commands | POST | Fetch workspace schema, databases, and fields | |
| tokens | /api/tokens | GET | List access tokens | |
| tokens | /api/tokens | POST | Create a new access token | |
| tokens | /api/tokens/:token_id | DELETE | Delete an access token |
How do I load only new Fibery records?
Fibery exposes fibery/id on api/commands, so dlt can request only the records that changed since the last run. Set it as the cursor_path and dlt tracks the high-water mark for you between runs.
{"name": "entities", "endpoint": { "path": "api/commands", "data_selector": "items", "incremental": {"cursor_path": "fibery/id", "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 Fibery pipeline look like?
A standard dlt REST API pipeline — the same code you would write by hand, loading /api/commands and /api/schema from the Fibery API into DuckDB:
import dlt from dlt.sources.rest_api import RESTAPIConfig, rest_api_resources @dlt.source def fibery_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://{account}.fibery.io/api/commands", "auth": {"type": "bearer", "token": api_key}, }, "resources": [ {"name": "entities", "endpoint": {"path": "api/commands", "data_selector": "items"}}, {"name": "history", "endpoint": {"path": "api/history", "data_selector": "items"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def load_fibery_to_duckdb() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="fibery_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="fibery_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(fibery_source()) print(load_info) if __name__ == "__main__": load_fibery_to_duckdb()
Run it with python fibery_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 Fibery data in DuckDB?
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):
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("fibery_pipeline").dataset() df = data.entities.df() print(df.head())
SQL:
SELECT * FROM fibery_data.entities LIMIT 10;
See querying your data with dataset and exploring it in marimo notebooks.
How do I deploy the Fibery to DuckDB 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 Fibery 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 Fibery data to?
dlt loads into any of these — only the destination argument changes:
| Destination | Example value |
|---|---|
| PostgreSQL | "postgres" |
| BigQuery | "bigquery" |
| Snowflake | "snowflake" |
| Redshift | "redshift" |
| Databricks | "databricks" |
| Filesystem (S3, GCS, Azure) | "filesystem" |
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.
