Primis Google Ad Manager Python API Docs | dltHub

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

Last updated:

Primis Platform API is an interface for third-party developers to access Primis backend data, reporting services, and publisher reports. The REST API base URL is https://console.primis.tech/UI/php/responders/apiResponder.php and All requests require an access token obtained via an authentication request..

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 Primis Google Ad Manager data in under 10 minutes.


What data can I load from Primis Google Ad Manager?

Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Primis Google Ad Manager:

ResourceEndpointMethodData selectorDescription
orders/orders/retailerGETresultsGets all orders for a retailer paginated
orders/orders/exportGETresultsGets all orders for a retailer
orders/orders/{orderId}GETGet order
authentication/authorization/authenticatePOSTGet access token
reports/UI/php/responders/apiResponder.phpPOSTPosting a report request

How do I authenticate with the Primis Google Ad Manager API?

The API uses a token-based authentication mechanism where an initial authentication request is performed to receive a token, which must then be included in subsequent API requests. The documentation for the Primis Platform API specifically describes sending these credentials to an endpoint to receive a JSON response containing the access token.

1. Get your credentials

To access the Primis Platform API, you must first obtain an 'apiUserName' and 'apiUserCode' by contacting your Primis account manager. Once obtained, issue an initial HTTP GET request to their authentication endpoint: 'https://console.primis.tech/UI/php/responders/apiResponder.php?method=authentication&apiUserName=[API_USER_NAME]&apiUserCode=[API_USER_CODE]&version=2.19'. This will return a JSON object containing a 'token', which is valid for approximately 24 hours and must be included as a parameter in all subsequent API requests.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

[sources.primis_google_ad_manager_source] token = "YOUR_PRIMIS_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 Primis Google Ad Manager 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 primis_google_ad_manager_pipeline.py

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

Pipeline primis_google_ad_manager_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset primis_google_ad_manager_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/primis_google_ad_manager.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 authentication and publisherReport from the Primis Google Ad Manager 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 primis_google_ad_manager_source(api_token=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://console.primis.tech/UI/php/responders/apiResponder.php", "auth": {"type": "bearer", "token": api_token}, }, "resources": [ {"name": "orders", "endpoint": {"path": "orders/retailer", "data_selector": "results"}}, {"name": "orders_export", "endpoint": {"path": "orders/export", "data_selector": "results"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="primis_google_ad_manager_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="primis_google_ad_manager_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(primis_google_ad_manager_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("primis_google_ad_manager_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.orders.df() print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

SELECT * FROM primis_google_ad_manager_data.orders LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("primis_google_ad_manager_pipeline").dataset() data.orders.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 Primis Google Ad Manager 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.
