Fireblocks Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a Fireblocks-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI Workbench support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
Fireblocks offers a REST API for programmatic access to its services, supporting authentication via API users and JSON Web Tokens. The API allows for transaction creation, management, and real-time insights. Fireblocks also provides SDKs in JavaScript and Python for easier integration. The REST API base URL is https://api.fireblocks.io and API key + signed JWT required for all requests.
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 Fireblocks data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from Fireblocks?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Fireblocks:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vault_accounts | v1/vault/accounts | GET | List vault accounts (top-level array of accounts) | |
| vault_account | v1/vault/accounts/{vaultAccountId} | GET | Get vault account by ID (object) | |
| transactions | v1/transactions | GET | Get transaction history (top-level array) | |
| transaction | v1/transactions/{txid} | GET | Get a specific transaction by Fireblocks transaction ID (object) | |
| assets | v1/assets | GET | List supported assets (top-level array) | |
| asset | v1/assets/{assetId} | GET | Get asset by ID (object) | |
| addresses | v1/vault/accounts/{vaultAccountId}/addresses | GET | Get deposit addresses for a vault account (top-level array) | |
| webhooks | v1/webhooks | GET | Get all webhooks (top-level array) | |
| jobs | v1/jobs | GET | List jobs for tenant (top-level array) | |
| api_keys | v1/apiKeys | GET | Get API Keys for workspace (top-level array) |
How do I authenticate with the Fireblocks API?
Fireblocks requires an API Key (X-API-Key) header and an Authorization: Bearer . The JWT is RS256‑signed with your Fireblocks API secret and must include uri, nonce, iat, exp, sub (apiKey) and bodyHash.
1. Get your credentials
- In Fireblocks Console go to Developer Center > API users (or API Keys). 2) Create/Add an API user (generate an API Key). 3) Download the API secret (private key) and store it securely. 4) Use the API Key and sign request JWTs with the downloaded API secret (RS256).
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.fireblocks_source] api_key = "YOUR_FIREBLOCKS_API_KEY"
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 Fireblocks 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 fireblocks_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline fireblocks_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset fireblocks_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/fireblocks.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs
Inspect your pipeline and data:
dlt pipeline fireblocks_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 vault_accounts and transactions from the Fireblocks 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 fireblocks_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.fireblocks.io", "auth": { "type": "api_key", "api_key": api_key, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "vault_accounts", "endpoint": {"path": "v1/vault/accounts"}}, {"name": "transactions", "endpoint": {"path": "v1/transactions"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="fireblocks_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="fireblocks_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(fireblocks_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("fireblocks_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.vault_accounts.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM fireblocks_data.vault_accounts LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("fireblocks_pipeline").dataset() data.vault_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 Fireblocks 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.
