Osano Python API Docs | dltHub

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

Last updated:

Osano is a data privacy and consent management platform that provides REST APIs for managing cookie consent, consent profiles, data discovery, and subject rights requests. The REST API base URL is https://api.osano.com and all requests require an API key passed in a specific HTTP 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 Osano data in under 10 minutes.


What data can I load from Osano?

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

ResourceEndpointMethodData selectorDescription
data_discovery_connectors/v1/data-discovery/connectorsGETitemsList data discovery connectors
data_stores/v1/data-discovery/data-storesGETitemsList data stores
data_store_fields/v1/data-discovery/data-stores/{dataStoreId}/fieldsGETitemsList fields for a data store
subject_rights_requests/v1/subject-rights/requestsGETitemsList subject rights requests
subject_rights_action_items/v1/subject-rights/action-itemsGETitemsList subject rights action items

How do I authenticate with the Osano API?

All requests to the Customer REST API require an 'x-osano-api-key' header. For Unified Consent core API endpoints, requests may instead require an 'x-uc-api-key' header generated via the token creation endpoint.

1. Get your credentials

  1. Log in to your Osano account at https://my.osano.com. 2. Navigate to Settings, then select API Keys (or visit https://my.osano.com/api-keys directly). 3. Create a new API key (requires admin or appropriate privileges). 4. Copy the generated key immediately, as it cannot be viewed again once the window is closed.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

[sources.osano_source] api_key = "your_osano_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 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 Osano 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 osano_pipeline.py

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

Pipeline osano_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset osano_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/osano.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 /v1/data-stores and /v2/token/create from the Osano 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 osano_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.osano.com", "auth": {"type": "api_key", "api_key": api_key, "name": "x-osano-api-key", "location": "header"}, }, "resources": [ {"name": "data_stores", "endpoint": {"path": "v1/data-discovery/data-stores", "data_selector": "items"}}, {"name": "subject_rights_requests", "endpoint": {"path": "v1/subject-rights/requests", "data_selector": "items"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="osano_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="osano_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(osano_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("osano_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.data_stores.df() print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

SELECT * FROM osano_data.data_stores LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("osano_pipeline").dataset() data.data_stores.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 Osano 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.
