Acculynx Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a Acculynx-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI harness support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
AccuLynx is a REST API for roofing contractors to access and integrate AccuLynx account data such as jobs, contacts, and company settings. The REST API base URL is https://api.acculynx.com/api/v2 and all requests require a Bearer token (API Key).
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 Acculynx data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from Acculynx?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Acculynx:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| jobs | /jobs | GET | Retrieves a list of jobs with optional date filtering | |
| subscriptions | /webhooks/v2/subscriptions | GET | Retrieves all available subscriptions | |
| topics | /webhooks/v2/topics | GET | Retrieves all available subscription topics | |
| subscription_details | /webhooks/v2/subscriptions/ | GET | Retrieves a specific subscription by ID | |
| webhook_create | /webhooks/v2/subscriptions | POST | Creates a new webhook subscription |
How do I authenticate with the Acculynx API?
All API requests require authentication via an API Key sent in the 'Authorization' header using the Bearer token format (e.g., 'Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>').
1. Get your credentials
To obtain your AccuLynx API credentials: 1. Log in to your AccuLynx account at https://my.acculynx.com with an account that has Administrator privileges. 2. Navigate to 'Account Settings'. 3. Go to 'Add-On Features and Integrations' > 'API Keys' (or visit https://my.acculynx.com/apikeys directly). 4. Click 'Create Key'. 5. Provide a descriptive name for the integration to identify it later, then copy and save the generated API key securely. Note that API keys are scoped to a specific location; if you have multiple locations, you must generate a unique key for each.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.acculynx_source] api_key = "your_api_key_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:
uv init uv add "dlt[hub]"
1. Install the dlt AI harness:
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:
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 Acculynx 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:
uv run python acculynx_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline acculynx_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset acculynx_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/acculynx.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs
Inspect your pipeline and data:
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 /webhooks/v2/subscriptions and /webhooks/v2/topics from the Acculynx API into DuckDB. It mirrors the endpoint and data selector configuration from the table above:
import dlt from dlt.sources.rest_api import RESTAPIConfig, rest_api_resources @dlt.source def acculynx_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.acculynx.com/api/v2", "auth": {"type": "bearer", "token": api_key}, }, "resources": [ {"name": "subscriptions", "endpoint": {"path": "webhooks/v2/subscriptions"}}, {"name": "jobs", "endpoint": {"path": "jobs"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="acculynx_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="acculynx_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(acculynx_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):
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("acculynx_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.subscriptions.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM acculynx_data.subscriptions LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("acculynx_pipeline").dataset() data.subscriptions.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 Acculynx data to?
dlt supports loading into any of these destinations — only the destination parameter changes:
| Destination | Example value |
|---|---|
| DuckDB (local, default) | "duckdb" |
| PostgreSQL | "postgres" |
| BigQuery | "bigquery" |
| Snowflake | "snowflake" |
| Redshift | "redshift" |
| Databricks | "databricks" |
| Filesystem (S3, GCS, Azure) | "filesystem" |
Change the destination in dlt.pipeline(destination="snowflake") and add credentials in .dlt/secrets.toml. See the full destinations list.
