Fakturo Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a Fakturo-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI Workbench support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
Fakturo is an integration gateway to the Faktura.uz electronic document exchange system. The REST API base URL is https://api.faktura.uz and all requests require an OAuth2 bearer access token (token endpoint at account.faktura.uz).
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 Fakturo data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from Fakturo?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Fakturo:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| document_types | Api/Document/GetDocumentTypes | GET | All available document types in the system | |
| document_statuses | Api/Document/GetDocumentStatuses | GET | All available document statuses in the system | |
| check_company_exist | Api/CheckCompanyExist/:inn | GET | Check if a company with given INN is registered | |
| download_archive | Api/DownloadArchive/:uniqueId | GET | Download ZIP archive of a document (use Authorization header) | |
| get_document_status | Api/GetDocumentStatus | POST | Data.DocumentStatuses | Returns document status info (response wrapper contains Success, Errors, Data) |
How do I authenticate with the Fakturo API?
Obtain an access token using the token endpoint (POST https://account.faktura.uz/token) with grant_type=password plus username, password, client_id and client_secret. Include the returned access_token in requests as the Authorization: Bearer <access_token> header.
1. Get your credentials
- Log in to your Faktura.uz account and open Client Settings in account.faktura.uz. 2) Copy ClientId and ClientSecret shown in Client Settings and note your account username and password. 3) Request a token: POST to https://account.faktura.uz/token with form data grant_type=password&username=&password=&client_id=<client_id>&client_secret=<client_secret>. 4) Use the access_token from the JSON response in Authorization: Bearer <access_token> for API requests.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.fakturo_source] access_token = "your_access_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 Fakturo 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 fakturo_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline fakturo_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset fakturo_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/fakturo.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs
Inspect your pipeline and data:
dlt pipeline fakturo_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 document_types and download_archive from the Fakturo 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 fakturo_source(access_token=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.faktura.uz", "auth": { "type": "bearer", "access_token": access_token, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "document_types", "endpoint": {"path": "Api/Document/GetDocumentTypes"}}, {"name": "download_archive", "endpoint": {"path": "Api/DownloadArchive/:uniqueId"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="fakturo_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="fakturo_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(fakturo_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("fakturo_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.document_types.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM fakturo_data.document_types LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("fakturo_pipeline").dataset() data.document_types.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 Fakturo 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.
Troubleshooting
Authentication failures
If token request to https://account.faktura.uz/token fails, verify username, password, client_id and client_secret. The token endpoint returns JSON with access_token on success; expired or invalid tokens produce 401 responses. Ensure Authorization: Bearer <access_token> header is sent on API calls.
Download interruptions and large archives
When downloading large ZIP archives via Api/DownloadArchive/:uniqueId the docs warn connections may close; use HTTP streaming/resume range headers or split requests per server boundary conditions as recommended.
Response wrapper and POST endpoints
Some endpoints (notably GetDocumentStatus) return a wrapper JSON: {"Success": true/false, "Errors": ..., "Data": {...}}. The list of statuses is at Data.DocumentStatuses. Handle Errors and Success fields accordingly.
Ensure that the API key is valid to avoid 401 Unauthorized errors. Also, verify endpoint paths and parameters to avoid 404 Not Found errors.
