Miro Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a Miro-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI harness support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
Miro is a visual collaboration platform that provides REST APIs to manage boards, items, and team-related resources. The REST API base URL is https://api.miro.com and all requests require a Bearer token via 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 add "dlt[hub]" and start loading Miro data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from Miro?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Miro:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| boards | /v2/boards | GET | data | Retrieves a list of boards. |
| board_items | /v2/boards/{board_id}/items | GET | data | Retrieves a list of items on a board. |
| board_members | /v2/boards/{board_id}/members | GET | data | Retrieves a list of board members. |
| teams | /v2/teams | GET | data | Retrieves a list of teams. |
| team_members | /v2/teams/{team_id}/members | GET | data | Retrieves a list of team members. |
How do I authenticate with the Miro API?
Miro uses OAuth 2.0 to manage access, requiring an access token to be sent in the 'Authorization' header using the 'Bearer' scheme (e.g., 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>'). Additionally, API requests typically require the 'Accept: application/json' header.
1. Get your credentials
To obtain API credentials for the Miro REST API, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to the Miro Developer Dashboard (https://developers.miro.com/dashboard). 2. Create a new app by providing an App name and selecting your Developer team. 3. Within the App settings, locate the App Credentials section to copy your 'Client ID' and 'Client secret'. 4. If you require programmatic access, configure the 'Redirect URI' (e.g., http://localhost:3000/auth/miro/callback). 5. To obtain an access token, install your app into your Miro team via the 'Install app and get OAuth token' button in the dashboard, or implement the OAuth 2.0 flow if building an application for other users.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.miro_source] miro_client_id = "your_client_id_here" miro_client_secret = "your_client_secret_here" miro_access_token = "your_access_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:
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 Miro 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 miro_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline miro_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset miro_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/miro.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 GET /v2/boards and GET /v2/boards/{board_id}/items from the Miro 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 miro_source(access_token=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.miro.com", "auth": {"type": "bearer", "token": access_token}, }, "resources": [ {"name": "boards", "endpoint": {"path": "v2/boards", "data_selector": "data"}}, {"name": "board_items", "endpoint": {"path": "v2/boards/{board_id}/items", "data_selector": "data"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="miro_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="miro_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(miro_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("miro_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.board_items.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM miro_data.board_items LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("miro_pipeline").dataset() data.board_items.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 Miro 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.
