Mesibo Python API Docs | dltHub

Mesibo is a realtime communications platform providing messaging, voice, video, user and group management APIs for building chat and conferencing applications. The REST API base URL is https://api.mesibo.com/backend/ and All backend API requests require your App Token sent in the JSON request payload (token field)..

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 Mesibo data in under 10 minutes.

What data can I load from Mesibo?

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

---

How do I authenticate with the Mesibo API?

Mesibo Backend APIs use an App Token that must be included in every request as the JSON field 'token' in the request body. Requests are JSON (Content-Type: application/json) sent to https://api.mesibo.com/backend/. Do not expose the App Token to clients.

1. Get your credentials

1. Log in to Mesibo Console at https://console.mesibo.com.
2. Click "New Application" to create a new app.
3. After the app is created, copy the displayed "App Token" (a long secret string).
4. Store the App Token securely on your backend; never expose it to client‑side code.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

Copy
[sources.mesibo_source]
app_token = "your_app_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:

Copy
uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install "dlt[workspace]"

1. Install the dlt AI Workbench:

Copy
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:

Copy
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 Mesibo 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:

Copy
python mesibo_pipeline.py

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

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

Inspect your pipeline and data:

Copy
dlt pipeline mesibo_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 users_add and tokens_generate from the Mesibo API into DuckDB. It mirrors the endpoint and data selector configuration from the table above:

Copy
import dlt
from dlt.sources.rest_api import RESTAPIConfig, rest_api_resources

@dlt.source
def mesibo_source(app_token=dlt.secrets.value):
    config: RESTAPIConfig = {
        "client": {
            "base_url": "https://api.mesibo.com/backend/",
            "auth": {
                "type": "api_key",
                "token": app_token,
            },
        },
        "resources": [
            {"name": "users_add", "endpoint": {"path": "backend", "data_selector": "user"}},
            {"name": "tokens_generate", "endpoint": {"path": "backend", "data_selector": "user"}}
        ],
    }
    yield from rest_api_resources(config)


def get_data() -> None:
    pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
        pipeline_name="mesibo_pipeline",
        destination="duckdb",
        dataset_name="mesibo_data",
    )
    load_info = pipeline.run(mesibo_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):

Copy
import dlt

data = dlt.pipeline("mesibo_pipeline").dataset()
sessions_df = data.users_add.df()
print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

Copy
SELECT * FROM mesibo_data.users_add LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

Copy
import dlt

data = dlt.pipeline("mesibo_pipeline").dataset()
data.users_add.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 Mesibo data to?

dlt supports loading into any of these destinations — only the destination parameter changes:

Change the destination in dlt.pipeline(destination="snowflake") and add credentials in .dlt/secrets.toml. See the full destinations list.

Troubleshooting

Authentication failures

Ensure the App Token is provided in every request's JSON body as the token field. Missing or invalid tokens result in a response with result:false and an error code.

Error responses and diagnosis

The API returns JSON with at least op, result, and on failure error, code, cause, action, and optional properties. Use these fields to identify the problem and follow the suggested action.

Security / Token breach

Mesibo may disable an app if the backend APIs are accessed from more than five IP addresses (TOKENBREACH). Keep your App Token usage limited to trusted backend servers.

Ensure that the API key is valid to avoid 401 Unauthorized errors. Also, verify endpoint paths and parameters to avoid 404 Not Found errors.
