360learning Python API Docs | dltHub

360Learning is a learning management system providing a REST API for programmatically managing learning paths, groups, and users. The REST API base URL is https://app.360learning.com/api/v2 (EU) or https://app.us.360learning.com/api/v2 (US) and OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials flow using a Bearer token in the Authorization header and a required API version header..

dlt is an open-source Python library that handles authentication, pagination, and schema evolution automatically. dlthub provides AI context files that enable code assistants to generate production-ready pipelines. Install with uv add "dlt[hub]" and start loading 360learning data in under 10 minutes.

What data can I load from 360learning?

Here are some of the endpoints you can load from 360learning:

How do I authenticate with the 360learning API?

360Learning API v2 uses OAuth 2.0 with the Client Credentials grant flow. After exchanging client_id and client_secret for an access token via a POST request, the token must be passed as a 'Bearer' token in the Authorization header of all subsequent API calls. Additionally, the header '360-api-version: v2.0' is required for all requests.

1. Get your credentials

To obtain API v2 credentials, a platform owner or administrator must perform the following steps in the 360Learning dashboard: 1. Log in to the 360Learning platform. 2. In the left sidebar, hover over the platform group and click the Settings (gear) icon. 3. Select API v2 from the left sidebar menu. 4. Click the + Add API Credentials button. 5. Provide a label for the credentials and select the required company-level scopes (permissions). 6. Save the credentials. 7. Copy the client ID and the client secret immediately, as the client secret is only displayed once. Store these securely, as they are required to generate access tokens for API requests.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

Copy
[sources._360learning_source]
client_id = "your_client_id_here"
client_secret = "your_client_secret_here"

dlt reads this automatically at runtime — never hardcode tokens in your pipeline script. For production environments, see setting up credentials with dlt for environment variable and vault-based options.

How do I set up and run the pipeline?

Set up a virtual environment and install dlt:

Copy
uv init
uv add "dlt[hub]"

1. Install the dlt AI harness:

Copy
uv run dlthub ai init --agent <your-agent> # <agent>: claude | cursor | codex

This installs project rules, a secrets management skill, appropriate ignore files, and configures the dlt MCP server for your agent. Learn more →

2. Install the rest-api-pipeline toolkit:

Copy
uv run dlthub ai toolkit install rest-api-pipeline

This loads the skills and context about dlt the agent uses to build the pipeline iteratively, efficiently, and safely. The agent uses MCP tools to inspect credentials — it never needs to read your secrets.toml directly. Learn more →

3. Start LLM-assisted coding:

Use /find-source to load data from the 360learning API into DuckDB.

The rest-api-pipeline toolkit takes over from here — it reads relevant API documentation, presents you with options for which endpoints to load, and follows a structured workflow to scaffold, debug, and validate the pipeline step by step.

4. Run the pipeline:

Copy
uv run python _360learning_pipeline.py

If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:

Copy
Pipeline _360learning_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds
1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset _360learning_data
The duckdb destination used duckdb:/_360learning.duckdb location to store data
Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs

Inspect your pipeline and data:

Copy
uv run dlthub show

This opens the Pipeline Dashboard where you can verify pipeline state, load metrics, schema (tables, columns, types), and query the loaded data directly.

Python pipeline example

This example loads /api/v2/oauth2/token (for authentication) and /api/v2/groups (as a standard resource example) from the 360learning API into DuckDB. It mirrors the endpoint and data selector configuration from the table above:

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

@dlt.source
def _360learning_source(client_id_client_secret=dlt.secrets.value):
    config: RESTAPIConfig = {
        "client": {
            "base_url": "https://app.360learning.com/api/v2 (EU) or https://app.us.360learning.com/api/v2 (US)",
            "auth": {"type": "bearer", "token": client_id_client_secret},
        },
        "resources": [
            {"name": "learning_needs", "endpoint": {"path": "api/v2/learning-needs"}},
            {"name": "enrollments", "endpoint": {"path": "api/v2/paths/{pathId}/enrollments"}}
        ],
    }
    yield from rest_api_resources(config)


def get_data() -> None:
    pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
        pipeline_name="_360learning_pipeline",
        destination="duckdb",
        dataset_name="_360learning_data",
    )
    load_info = pipeline.run(_360learning_source())
    print(load_info)

To add more endpoints, append entries from the resource table to the "resources" list using the same name, path, and data_selector pattern.

How do I query the loaded data?

Once the pipeline runs, dlt creates one table per resource. You can query with Python or SQL.

Python (pandas DataFrame):

Copy
import dlt

data = dlt.pipeline("_360learning_pipeline").dataset()
sessions_df = data.learning_needs.df()
print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

Copy
SELECT * FROM _360learning_data.learning_needs LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

Copy
import dlt

data = dlt.pipeline("_360learning_pipeline").dataset()
data.learning_needs.df().head()

See how to explore your data in marimo Notebooks and how to query your data in Python with dataset.

What destinations can I load 360learning data to?

dlt supports loading into any of these destinations — only the destination parameter changes:

Change the destination in dlt.pipeline(destination="snowflake") and add credentials in .dlt/secrets.toml. See the full destinations list.
