Load Veeqo data to DuckDB

Veeqo is a cloud-based inventory and order management platform that provides a REST API for accessing ecommerce data. Everything needed to build a working Veeqo → 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 Veeqo 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 Veeqo 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 Veeqo 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.

Veeqo API at a glance

These values come from the Veeqo API reference — the authoritative source if anything here looks out of date.

---

How do I authenticate with the Veeqo API?

Veeqo supports OAuth 2.0 for third-party applications and API Key authentication for private integrations. API key authentication requires the 'x-api-key' HTTP header.

1. Get your credentials

1. Contact Veeqo Support to request that API access be enabled for your account. 2. Once enabled, log in to your Veeqo account. 3. Navigate to Settings, then click on Users. 4. Click Edit next to the desired user (it is recommended to create a dedicated user for integrations). 5. Scroll to the API key section and click Generate API key (or Regenerate API key if one already exists). 6. Copy the displayed API key immediately, as it will not be visible again after the popup is closed. 7. Store the key securely in a password manager or vault.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

Copy
[sources.veeqo_source]
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY_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 Veeqo data can I load into DuckDB?

These are the Veeqo endpoints dlt can load into DuckDB:

---

How do I load only new Veeqo records?

Veeqo exposes updated_at_min on orders, 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": "orders", "endpoint": {
    "path": "orders",
    "incremental": {"cursor_path": "updated_at_min", "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 Veeqo pipeline look like?

A standard dlt REST API pipeline — the same code you would write by hand, loading orders and products from the Veeqo API into DuckDB:

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

@dlt.source
def veeqo_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value):
    config: RESTAPIConfig = {
        "client": {
            "base_url": "https://api.veeqo.com",
            "auth": {"type": "bearer", "token": api_key},
        },
        "resources": [
            {"name": "orders", "endpoint": {"path": "orders"}},
            {"name": "products", "endpoint": {"path": "products"}}
        ],
    }
    yield from rest_api_resources(config)


def load_veeqo_to_duckdb() -> None:
    pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
        pipeline_name="veeqo_pipeline",
        destination="duckdb",
        dataset_name="veeqo_data",
    )
    load_info = pipeline.run(veeqo_source())
    print(load_info)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    load_veeqo_to_duckdb()

Run it with python veeqo_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 Veeqo 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("veeqo_pipeline").dataset()
df = data.orders.df()
print(df.head())

SQL:

Copy
SELECT * FROM veeqo_data.orders LIMIT 10;

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

---

How do I deploy the Veeqo 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 Veeqo 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 Veeqo 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.
