Load Newo AI data to DuckDB

Newo AI provides a REST API for accessing AI-driven chat capabilities, agent management, and conversation history functionality. Everything needed to build a working Newo AI → 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 Newo AI to DuckDB pipeline

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

PromptCopy prompt
Run uvx dlthub-init@latest to build a pipeline from Newo AI 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 Newo AI 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.

Newo AI API at a glance

These values come from the Newo AI API reference — the authoritative source if anything here looks out of date.

---

How do I authenticate with the Newo AI API?

Subsequent API requests require the access token in the Authorization: Bearer <access_token> header.

1. Get your credentials

1. Navigate to the Newo platform at app.newo.ai and log in. 2. Go to the Integrations page. 3. Locate the API Integration section. 4. If you have not already, create a new connector (or select an existing one). 5. Copy the displayed Newo.ai API key from the connector settings or the API keys section (managed under Account -> API Keys). Note that for some workflows, creating an integration connector is the required path to obtain the specific API credential.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

Copy
[sources.newo_ai_source]
api_key = "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 Newo AI data can I load into DuckDB?

These are the Newo AI endpoints dlt can load into DuckDB:

How do I load only new Newo AI records?

Newo AI exposes page on api/v1/chat/history, 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.

Copy
{"name": "chat_history", "endpoint": {
    "path": "api/v1/chat/history",
    "incremental": {"cursor_path": "page", "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 Newo AI pipeline look like?

A standard dlt REST API pipeline — the same code you would write by hand, loading /api/v1/auth/api-key/token and /api/v1/auth/token/refresh from the Newo AI API into DuckDB:

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

@dlt.source
def newo_ai_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value):
    config: RESTAPIConfig = {
        "client": {
            "base_url": "https://api.newo.ai",
            "auth": {"type": "bearer", "token": api_key},
        },
        "resources": [
            {"name": "chat_history", "endpoint": {"path": "api/v1/chat/history"}},
            {"name": "user_actors", "endpoint": {"path": "api/v1/actors/user"}}
        ],
    }
    yield from rest_api_resources(config)


def load_newo_ai_to_duckdb() -> None:
    pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
        pipeline_name="newo_ai_pipeline",
        destination="duckdb",
        dataset_name="newo_ai_data",
    )
    load_info = pipeline.run(newo_ai_source())
    print(load_info)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    load_newo_ai_to_duckdb()

Run it with python newo_ai_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 Newo AI 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):

Copy
import dlt

data = dlt.pipeline("newo_ai_pipeline").dataset()
df = data.chat_history.df()
print(df.head())

SQL:

Copy
SELECT * FROM newo_ai_data.chat_history LIMIT 10;

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

How do I deploy the Newo AI 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 Newo AI 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 Newo AI 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.
