Loading Data from Spotify to DuckDB using dlt in Python
Need help deploying these pipelines, or figuring out how to run them in your data stack?
Join our Slack community or book a call with our support engineer Violetta.
Loading data from Spotify to DuckDB using the dlt library allows you to efficiently manage and analyze large volumes of music, podcast, and video data. Spotify is a digital service that offers access to millions of songs and other content from creators worldwide. DuckDB is a fast in-process analytical database that supports a feature-rich SQL dialect and integrates deeply with client APIs. By leveraging the open-source dlt library, you can streamline the process of transferring data from Spotify into DuckDB for advanced analysis and insights.

dltsupports DuckDB as a destination, allowing you to efficiently load and manage your data. Read more - Load data from APIs: Easily load data from various APIs into DuckDB. This tutorial demonstrates how to load data from the GitHub API. Read more
- Incremental data loading:
dltsupports incremental loading to ensure that only new data is loaded, avoiding duplicates and saving resources. Read more - Data exploration: Use built-in integrations like Streamlit to explore and visualize your data directly from your pipeline. Read more
Getting started with your pipeline locally
dlt-init-openapi0. Prerequisites
dlt and dlt-init-openapi requires Python 3.9 or higher. Additionally, you need to have the pip package manager installed, and we recommend using a virtual environment to manage your dependencies. You can learn more about preparing your computer for dlt in our installation reference.
1. Install dlt and dlt-init-openapi
First you need to install the dlt-init-openapi cli tool.
pip install dlt-init-openapi
The dlt-init-openapi cli is a powerful generator which you can use to turn any OpenAPI spec into a dlt source to ingest data from that api. The quality of the generator source is dependent on how well the API is designed and how accurate the OpenAPI spec you are using is. You may need to make tweaks to the generated code, you can learn more about this here.
# generate pipeline
# NOTE: add_limit adds a global limit, you can remove this later
# NOTE: you will need to select which endpoints to render, you
# can just hit Enter and all will be rendered.
dlt-init-openapi spotify --url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dlt-hub/dlt-init-openapi/devel/tests/cases/original_specs/spotify.json --global-limit 2
cd spotify_pipeline
# install generated requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt
The last command will install the required dependencies for your pipeline. The dependencies are listed in the requirements.txt:
dlt>=0.4.12
You now have the following folder structure in your project:
spotify_pipeline/
├── .dlt/
│ ├── config.toml # configs for your pipeline
│ └── secrets.toml # secrets for your pipeline
├── rest_api/ # The rest api verified source
│ └── ...
├── spotify/
│ └── __init__.py # TODO: possibly tweak this file
├── spotify_pipeline.py # your main pipeline script
├── requirements.txt # dependencies for your pipeline
└── .gitignore # ignore files for git (not required)
1.1. Tweak spotify/__init__.py
This file contains the generated configuration of your rest_api. You can continue with the next steps and leave it as is, but you might want to come back here and make adjustments if you need your rest_api source set up in a different way. The generated file for the spotify source will look like this:

2. Configuring your source and destination credentials
info
dlt-init-openapi will try to detect which authentication mechanism (if any) is used by the API in question and add a placeholder in your secrets.toml.
The dlt cli will have created a .dlt directory in your project folder. This directory contains a config.toml file and a secrets.toml file that you can use to configure your pipeline. The automatically created version of these files look like this:
generated config.toml
[runtime]
log_level="INFO"
[sources.spotify]
# Base URL for the API
base_url = "https://api.spotify.com/v1"
generated secrets.toml
[sources.spotify]
# secrets for your spotify source
# example_api_key = "example value"
2.1. Adjust the generated code to your usecase
Further help setting up your source and destinations
At this time, the dlt-init-openapi cli tool will always create pipelines that load to a local duckdb instance. Switching to a different destination is trivial, all you need to do is change the destination parameter in spotify_pipeline.py to duckdb and supply the credentials as outlined in the destination doc linked below.
3. Running your pipeline for the first time
The dlt cli has also created a main pipeline script for you at spotify_pipeline.py, as well as a folder spotify that contains additional python files for your source. These files are your local copies which you can modify to fit your needs. In some cases you may find that you only need to do small changes to your pipelines or add some configurations, in other cases these files can serve as a working starting point for your code, but will need to be adjusted to do what you need them to do.
The main pipeline script will look something like this:
import dlt
from spotify import spotify_source
if __name__ == "__main__":
pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
pipeline_name="spotify_pipeline",
destination='duckdb',
dataset_name="spotify_data",
progress="log",
export_schema_path="schemas/export"
)
source = spotify_source()
info = pipeline.run(source)
print(info)
Provided you have set up your credentials, you can run your pipeline like a regular python script with the following command:
python spotify_pipeline.py
4. Inspecting your load result
You can now inspect the state of your pipeline with the dlt cli:
dlt pipeline spotify_pipeline info
You can also use streamlit to inspect the contents of your DuckDB destination for this:
# install streamlit
pip install streamlit
# run the streamlit app for your pipeline with the dlt cli:
dlt pipeline spotify_pipeline show
5. Next steps to get your pipeline running in production
One of the beauties of dlt is, that we are just a plain Python library, so you can run your pipeline in any environment that supports Python >= 3.8. We have a couple of helpers and guides in our docs to get you there:
The Deploy section will show you how to deploy your pipeline to
- Deploy with GitHub Actions: Learn how to deploy your
dltpipeline using GitHub Actions for automated CI/CD. Follow the steps here. - Deploy with Airflow and Google Composer: Use Google Composer to manage your Airflow environments and deploy your
dltpipeline. Detailed instructions can be found here. - Deploy with Google Cloud Functions: Set up and deploy your
dltpipeline using Google Cloud Functions for a serverless approach. Follow the guide here. - Explore Other Deployment Options: Discover various other methods to deploy your
dltpipeline, including different cloud providers and services. Check out the comprehensive guide here.
The running in production section will teach you about:
- How to Monitor your pipeline: Learn how to effectively monitor your
dltpipeline in production to ensure smooth operation and quick identification of any issues. Read more here. - Set up alerts: Set up alerts to get notified about important events and issues in your
dltpipeline. This ensures that you can take timely action to address any problems. Find out how here. - And set up tracing: Implement tracing to gain detailed insights into the execution of your
dltpipeline, helping you to debug and optimize its performance. Learn more here.
