Applivery Python API Docs | dltHub

Build a Applivery-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI Workbench support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

Last updated:

Applivery offers a JSON-based REST API with token-based authentication. The API documentation is available at https://www.applivery.com/docs/api/. The base domain for all requests is specified in the API documentation. The REST API base URL is https://api.applivery.io and All requests require a bearer token in the Authorization 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 Applivery data in under 10 minutes.


What data can I load from Applivery?

Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Applivery:

ResourceEndpointMethodData selectorDescription
appsappsGETdataList apps for the workspace (responses are wrapped in a 'data' key)
buildsintegrations/buildsGETdataList builds (build records in 'data')
build_detailsintegrations/builds/{buildId}GET(object)Get single build details (object response)
distributionsdistributionsGETdataList distributions (distribution records in 'data')
downloaddownloads/{token}GET(binary / redirect)Download endpoint for app binaries or redirect to storage
usersorganizations/usersGETdataList users in organization (records in 'data')

How do I authenticate with the Applivery API?

Applivery uses token-based authentication. Include the App or Service Account token in the Authorization header as: Authorization: bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>. Also include Content-Type: application/json.

1. Get your credentials

  1. Sign in to Applivery dashboard. 2) For App-specific access: open the App settings and create or copy the App Token (App API Token). 3) For organization-level access: create a Service Account in the Workspace/Organization settings and copy the Service Account token. 4) Store the token securely and provide it in the Authorization header for API requests.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

[sources.applivery_source] token = "your_applivery_token_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 venv && source .venv/bin/activate uv pip install "dlt[workspace]"

1. Install the dlt AI Workbench:

dlt 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:

dlt 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 Applivery 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:

python applivery_pipeline.py

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

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

Inspect your pipeline and data:

dlt pipeline applivery_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 apps and builds from the Applivery 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 applivery_source(token=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.applivery.io", "auth": { "type": "bearer", "token": token, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "apps", "endpoint": {"path": "apps", "data_selector": "data"}}, {"name": "builds", "endpoint": {"path": "integrations/builds", "data_selector": "data"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="applivery_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="applivery_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(applivery_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("applivery_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.builds.df() print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

SELECT * FROM applivery_data.builds LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("applivery_pipeline").dataset() data.builds.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 Applivery data to?

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

DestinationExample 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.
