Tabby Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a Tabby-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI Workbench support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
Tabby's API allows retrieval of webhooks via specific endpoints. To retrieve a webhook, use the "Retrieve a webhook" endpoint. To retrieve all webhooks, use the "Retrieve all webhooks" endpoint. The REST API base URL is https://api.tabby.ai (UAE, Kuwait) and https://api.tabby.sa (KSA) and All requests use Bearer authentication with a secret_key..
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 Tabby data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from Tabby?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Tabby:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| webhooks | /api/v1/webhooks | GET | data | List all registered webhooks; response records are under the "data" key. |
| webhook | /api/v1/webhooks/{id} | GET | Retrieve a single webhook by its ID. | |
| payments | /api/v2/payments/{id} | GET | Retrieve payment details by ID; the payment object is at the top level. | |
| payments_search | /api/v1/payments | GET | data | Search or list payments; results are returned in a "data" array. |
| checkout_session | /v2/checkout | POST | Create a checkout session (included for completeness, not a GET). |
How do I authenticate with the Tabby API?
Include the secret_key in the Authorization header as: Authorization: Bearer <secret_key>. For multi‑store configurations also send the X-Merchant-Code header.
1. Get your credentials
- Sign in to the Tabby Merchant dashboard (merchant.tabby.ai or merchant.tabby.sa).\n2. Navigate to API / Integration or Developer settings (Testing credentials / API keys).\n3. Generate or copy the secret_key (test or live) shown; Tabby distinguishes test vs live by the key used.\n4. If you operate multiple stores, note the X-Merchant-Code value provided by Tabby and include it in requests.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.tabby_source] secret_key = "your_tabby_secret_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 Tabby 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 tabby_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline tabby_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset tabby_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/tabby.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs
Inspect your pipeline and data:
dlt pipeline tabby_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 webhooks and payments from the Tabby 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 tabby_source(secret_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.tabby.ai (UAE, Kuwait) and https://api.tabby.sa (KSA)", "auth": { "type": "bearer", "secret_key": secret_key, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "webhooks", "endpoint": {"path": "api/v1/webhooks", "data_selector": "data"}}, {"name": "payments", "endpoint": {"path": "api/v2/payments/{id}"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="tabby_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="tabby_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(tabby_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("tabby_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.webhooks.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM tabby_data.webhooks LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("tabby_pipeline").dataset() data.webhooks.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 Tabby 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.
