Dezgo Python API Docs | dltHub

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

Last updated:

Dezgo is an AI image generation API platform providing text-to-image, image-to-image, inpainting, and related image-generation services. The REST API base URL is https://api.dezgo.com/ and all requests require the X-Dezgo-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 add "dlt[hub]" and start loading Dezgo data in under 10 minutes.


What data can I load from Dezgo?

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

ResourceEndpointMethodData selectorDescription
models/infoGETmodelsReturns list of available image models
account_tx_last/account/tx/lastGETReturns last account transaction
text2image/text2imagePOSTGenerates an image from a prompt
image2image/image2imagePOSTModifies an image based on a prompt
inpainting/inpaintingPOSTModifies part of an image based on a prompt
jobs_get/jobs/{id}GETReturns status and metadata of a specific job

How do I authenticate with the Dezgo API?

Authentication is performed by including the API key in the 'X-Dezgo-Key' request header.

1. Get your credentials

To obtain your Dezgo API credentials: 1) Sign in to your account at https://dezgo.com/ (or create a new account if you do not have one). 2) Navigate to your account dashboard and locate the 'API Keys' section. 3) Click the 'New' button to generate a new API key (you may be prompted to complete a captcha). 4) Copy and save the API key securely, as it will be listed in your keys dashboard and can be revoked if needed.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

[sources.dezgo_source] api_key = "your_dezgo_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 Dezgo 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 dezgo_pipeline.py

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

Pipeline dezgo_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset dezgo_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/dezgo.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 text2image and inpainting from the Dezgo 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 dezgo_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.dezgo.com/", "auth": {"type": "api_key", "api_key": api_key, "name": "X-Dezgo-Key", "location": "header"}, }, "resources": [ {"name": "models", "endpoint": {"path": "info", "data_selector": "models"}}, {"name": "account_tx_last", "endpoint": {"path": "account/tx/last"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="dezgo_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="dezgo_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(dezgo_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("dezgo_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.info.df() print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

SELECT * FROM dezgo_data.info LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("dezgo_pipeline").dataset() data.info.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 Dezgo 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.
