Gumlet Python API Docs | dltHub

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

Last updated:

The guide for Widevine DRM with React Native is found at https://docs.gumlet.com/reference/widevine-drm-with-react-native. It includes setup instructions and updates. For more details, refer to the official documentation. The REST API base URL is https://api.gumlet.com/v1 and All requests use an API key passed as 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 pip install "dlt[workspace]" and start loading Gumlet data in under 10 minutes.


What data can I load from Gumlet?

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

ResourceEndpointMethodData selectorDescription
video_asset_statusvideo/assets/{asset_id}GEToriginal_download_url (top-level)Get status/details for a video asset (returns original_download_url when ready)
multipart_signvideo/assets/{asset_id}/multipartupload/{part_number}/signGETpart_upload_url (top-level)Get pre-signed URL for uploading a multipart chunk
list_assets_workspacevideo/assets/list/{workspace_id}GET(not explicitly documented in scraped examples)List assets in a workspace
get_single_partvideo/assets/{asset_id}/multipartupload/{part_number}GET(not explicitly documented)Get info about a single multipart upload part/signing
workspaces_listvideo/workspacesGET(not explicitly documented)List workspaces

How do I authenticate with the Gumlet API?

Create an API Key in the Gumlet Dashboard (Developer -> API Keys). Include it on every API request as: Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>.

1. Get your credentials

  1. Login to Gumlet dashboard (https://dash.gumlet.com). 2) Open Developer -> API Keys. 3) Click create API key, choose role/permissions, copy the key. 4) Use the key in the Authorization header for API calls.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

[sources.gumlet_widevine_source] api_key = "your_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 Gumlet 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 gumlet_widevine_pipeline.py

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

Pipeline gumlet_widevine_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset gumlet_widevine_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/gumlet_widevine.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs

Inspect your pipeline and data:

dlt pipeline gumlet_widevine_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 video_assets_upload and multipart_sign from the Gumlet 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 gumlet_widevine_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.gumlet.com/v1", "auth": { "type": "bearer", "api_key": api_key, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "video_assets_upload", "endpoint": {"path": "video/assets/upload", "data_selector": "upload_url and asset_id"}}, {"name": "multipart_sign", "endpoint": {"path": "video/assets/{asset_id}/multipartupload/{part_number}/sign", "data_selector": "part_upload_url"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="gumlet_widevine_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="gumlet_widevine_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(gumlet_widevine_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("gumlet_widevine_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.video_assets_upload.df() print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

SELECT * FROM gumlet_widevine_data.video_assets_upload LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("gumlet_widevine_pipeline").dataset() data.video_assets_upload.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 Gumlet 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.
