LogMeIn Rescue Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a LogMeIn Rescue-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI harness support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
LogMeIn Rescue API provides an interface for third parties to communicate with and retrieve information related to a Rescue account. The REST API base URL is https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/API/ and Uses session cookies or an authcode parameter for authentication..
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 LogMeIn Rescue data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from LogMeIn Rescue?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from LogMeIn Rescue:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sessions | getSession | GET | Retrieves current sessions | |
| users | getAccount | GET | Retrieves properties of the current user and account | |
| auth | login | GET | Authenticates the user and returns a session cookie | |
| auth_code | requestAuthCode | GET | Generates an authentication code for API access | |
| session_status | holdSession | GET | Puts the selected session on hold |
How do I authenticate with the LogMeIn Rescue API?
Authentication is performed either via a session cookie (using the login method) or an authcode parameter passed in the request query string or body (using the requestAuthCode method).
1. Get your credentials
To obtain credentials for the LogMeIn Rescue API, log in to the GoTo Developer Identity Services portal at https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/id-srv/ using an administrator account. Within the portal dashboard, navigate to the section to manage OAuth clients, add a new OAuth client, and record the generated client_id and associated secret.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.logmein_rescue_source] authcode = "REPLACE_ME"
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 init uv add "dlt[hub]"
1. Install the dlt AI harness:
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:
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 LogMeIn Rescue 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:
uv run python logmein_rescue_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline logmein_rescue_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset logmein_rescue_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/logmein_rescue.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs
Inspect your pipeline and data:
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 login and requestAuthCode from the LogMeIn Rescue 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 logmein_rescue_source(authcode=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/API/", "auth": {"type": "api_key", "api_key": authcode, "name": "authcode"}, }, "resources": [ {"name": "sessions", "endpoint": {"path": "getSession"}}, {"name": "auth_code", "endpoint": {"path": "requestAuthCode"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="logmein_rescue_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="logmein_rescue_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(logmein_rescue_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("logmein_rescue_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.sessions.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM logmein_rescue_data.sessions LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("logmein_rescue_pipeline").dataset() data.sessions.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 LogMeIn Rescue 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.
