Gamesight Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a Gamesight-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI Workbench support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
The Gamesight Measurement API uses REST to collect in-game events and device identifiers for marketing insights. To send data, use a POST request to https://api.ingest.marketing.gamesight.io/events with JSON payload. API key and version headers are required. The REST API base URL is https://api.marketing.gamesight.io and All requests require an API key sent 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 Gamesight data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from Gamesight?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Gamesight:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| measurement_events | https://api.ingest.marketing.gamesight.io/events | POST | (n/a) | Ingest measurement events (used to send events from game servers; included because central to workflow) |
| games | https://api.marketing.gamesight.io/games | GET | games | Lists games accessible to the API key (reporting scope) |
| reporting_goals | https://api.marketing.gamesight.io/reporting/goals | GET | (see docs) | Reporting: list goals (examples in UI docs) |
| reporting_trackers | https://api.marketing.gamesight.io/reporting/trackers | GET | (see docs) | Reporting: list trackers (reporting endpoints require Reporting API key) |
| teams | https://api.marketing.gamesight.io/teams | GET | teams | List teams (if available in docs/response) |
How do I authenticate with the Gamesight API?
Gamesight uses API keys. Include the key in the Authorization header for requests to both the Measurement ingest endpoint and the Marketing/Reporting endpoints. Some endpoints also require an X-Api-Version header (e.g. 1.1.0 or 2.0.0).
1. Get your credentials
- Log into the Gamesight Console (https://console.gamesight.io/app/management/). 2) Open Settings -> In-Game Integration (or the API Keys section). 3) Create/generate an API key with the appropriate scope (Measurement/Advertiser/Reporting). 4) Use that key in the Authorization header. If you lack access ask a Game Admin to grant "Game Integrator" permissions.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.gamesight_measurement_api_source] api_key = "your_gamesight_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 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 Gamesight 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 gamesight_measurement_api_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline gamesight_measurement_api_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset gamesight_measurement_api_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/gamesight_measurement_api.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs
Inspect your pipeline and data:
dlt pipeline gamesight_measurement_api_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 games and measurement_events from the Gamesight 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 gamesight_measurement_api_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.marketing.gamesight.io", "auth": { "type": "api_key", "api_key": api_key, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "games", "endpoint": {"path": "games", "data_selector": "games"}}, {"name": "measurement_events", "endpoint": {"path": "events"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="gamesight_measurement_api_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="gamesight_measurement_api_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(gamesight_measurement_api_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("gamesight_measurement_api_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.games.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM gamesight_measurement_api_data.games LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("gamesight_measurement_api_pipeline").dataset() data.games.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 Gamesight 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.
