Domo Python API Docs | dltHub

Domo is a business intelligence and data visualization platform providing various APIs for managing DataSets, users, and dashboards. The REST API base URL is https://api.domo.com and all API 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 add "dlt[hub]" and start loading Domo data in under 10 minutes.

What data can I load from Domo?

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

---

How do I authenticate with the Domo API?

Domo API requests require an Authorization header with a Bearer token, which is obtained via OAuth client credentials. Alternatively, some older Product APIs use an X-DOMO-Developer-Token header for authentication.

1. Get your credentials

1. Log in to your Domo instance and navigate to the Admin dashboard.
2. Under Authentication settings, select 'API Clients'.
3. Click 'Create' to generate a new API client.
4. Provide a name, description, and select the appropriate scopes required for your API access.
5. Upon creation, copy your Client ID and Client Secret. Note that the secret is only displayed once.
6. Use these credentials to request an OAuth access token by sending a request to the Domo OAuth token endpoint: curl -v -u {CLIENT_ID}:{CLIENT_SECRET} "https://api.domo.com/oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials&scope={SCOPE}"

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

Copy
[sources.domo_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 Domo 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 domo_pipeline.py

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

Copy
Pipeline domo_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds
1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset domo_data
The duckdb destination used duckdb:/domo.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 users and users/{id} from the Domo 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 domo_source(access_token=dlt.secrets.value):
    config: RESTAPIConfig = {
        "client": {
            "base_url": "https://api.domo.com",
            "auth": {"type": "bearer", "token": access_token},
        },
        "resources": [
            {"name": "data_accounts", "endpoint": {"path": "api/data/v1/accounts"}},
            {"name": "pages", "endpoint": {"path": "v1/pages"}}
        ],
    }
    yield from rest_api_resources(config)


def get_data() -> None:
    pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
        pipeline_name="domo_pipeline",
        destination="duckdb",
        dataset_name="domo_data",
    )
    load_info = pipeline.run(domo_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("domo_pipeline").dataset()
sessions_df = data.data_accounts.df()
print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

Copy
SELECT * FROM domo_data.data_accounts LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

Copy
import dlt

data = dlt.pipeline("domo_pipeline").dataset()
data.data_accounts.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 Domo 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.
