Probely Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a Probely-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI Workbench support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
Probely's API documentation provides endpoints for managing vulnerabilities and security scans. Key sections include findings and vulnerability definitions. The API is built from an OpenAPI specification. The REST API base URL is https://api.probely.com and All requests require a JWT API key in 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 pip install "dlt[workspace]" and start loading Probely data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from Probely?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Probely:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| targets | /targets/ | GET | results | List targets and manage target resources. |
| findings | /findings/ | GET | results | List findings for account or filters. |
| scans | /scans/ | GET | results | List scan runs for targets. |
| profile | /profile/ | GET | (object) | Retrieve user profile for token. |
| teams | /teams/ | GET | results | List teams. |
| api_users | /api-users/ | GET | results | List API keys and policies. |
| integrations | /integrations/ | GET | results | List configured integrations. |
| users | /users/ | GET | results | List users. |
| reports | /reports/ | GET | results | List report objects. |
How do I authenticate with the Probely API?
Obtain an API Key in the Probely web app (https://plus.probely.app/) and send it in the Authorization header prefixed with "JWT " (including the space). Example header: Authorization: JWT <YOUR_API_TOKEN>
1. Get your credentials
- Log in to the Probely/Snyk API & Web app at https://plus.probely.app/. 2) Open your user/profile or API keys section. 3) Create/generate a new API Key. 4) Copy and securely store the key (treat as a password).
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.probely_source] api_key = "your_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 venv && source .venv/bin/activate uv pip install "dlt[workspace]"
1. Install the dlt AI Workbench:
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:
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 Probely 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:
python probely_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline probely_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset probely_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/probely.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs
Inspect your pipeline and data:
dlt pipeline probely_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 findings and targets from the Probely 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 probely_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.probely.com", "auth": { "type": "bearer", "token": api_key, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "findings", "endpoint": {"path": "findings/", "data_selector": "results"}}, {"name": "targets", "endpoint": {"path": "targets/", "data_selector": "results"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="probely_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="probely_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(probely_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("probely_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.targets.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM probely_data.targets LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("probely_pipeline").dataset() data.targets.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 Probely 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.
