Adobe Analytics Python API Docs | dltHub

Adobe Analytics 2.0 APIs are a collection of REST endpoints for manipulating and integrating data from Adobe Analytics products like Analysis Workspace. The REST API base URL is https://analytics.adobe.io/api/{GLOBAL_COMPANY_ID} and all requests require an OAuth 2.0 access token via the Authorization header and an x-api-key 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 pip install "dlt[workspace]" and start loading Adobe Analytics data in under 10 minutes.

What data can I load from Adobe Analytics?

Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Adobe Analytics:

---

How do I authenticate with the Adobe Analytics API?

Requests require an 'Authorization' header with a 'Bearer' token and an 'x-api-key' header containing the client ID.

1. Get your credentials

To obtain credentials for the Adobe Analytics REST API: 1. Ensure you have System Admin or Developer rights for your Adobe organization. 2. Log in to the Adobe Developer Console (https://console.adobe.io/integrations). 3. Click Create new project. 4. Click Add API and select Adobe Analytics. 5. Choose your preferred authentication method (OAuth Server-to-Server is recommended for automated pipelines). 6. Complete the wizard to generate your Client ID (API Key) and Client Secret. 7. For Server-to-Server authentication, add the API to your project and configure the required scopes, then copy the generated credentials for use in your application.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

Copy
[sources.adobe_analytics_source]
adobe_client_id = "your_client_id_here"
adobe_client_secret = "your_client_secret_here"
adobe_company_id = "your_global_company_id_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 venv && source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install "dlt[workspace]"

1. Install the dlt AI harness:

Copy
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
dlthub ai toolkit rest-api-pipeline install

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 Adobe Analytics 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
python adobe_analytics_pipeline.py

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

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

Inspect your pipeline and data:

Copy
dlt pipeline adobe_analytics_pipeline 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 POST /reports and GET /metrics from the Adobe Analytics 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 adobe_analytics_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value):
    config: RESTAPIConfig = {
        "client": {
            "base_url": "https://analytics.adobe.io/api/{GLOBAL_COMPANY_ID}",
            "auth": {"type": "bearer", "token": api_key},
        },
        "resources": [
            {"name": "calculated_metrics", "endpoint": {"path": "calculatedmetrics"}},
            {"name": "annotations", "endpoint": {"path": "annotations"}}
        ],
    }
    yield from rest_api_resources(config)


def get_data() -> None:
    pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
        pipeline_name="adobe_analytics_pipeline",
        destination="duckdb",
        dataset_name="adobe_analytics_data",
    )
    load_info = pipeline.run(adobe_analytics_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("adobe_analytics_pipeline").dataset()
sessions_df = data.calculated_metrics.df()
print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

Copy
SELECT * FROM adobe_analytics_data.calculated_metrics LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

Copy
import dlt

data = dlt.pipeline("adobe_analytics_pipeline").dataset()
data.calculated_metrics.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 Adobe Analytics 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.
