Loading Data from Spotify to The Local Filesystem 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.
This documentation explains how to load data from Spotify to The Local Filesystem using the open-source Python library dlt. Spotify is a digital service that provides access to millions of songs, podcasts, and videos from creators worldwide. The Local Filesystem destination allows you to store data in a local folder, making it easy to create data lakes. You can save the data in formats such as JSONL, Parquet, or CSV. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up and use dlt for this purpose. For more information about Spotify, visit Spotify.
dlt Key Features
- Easy to get started:
dltis a Python library that is easy to use and understand. It is designed to be simple to use and easy to understand. Typepip install dltand you are ready to go. - Governance Support:
dltpipelines offer robust governance support through pipeline metadata, schema enforcement and curation, and schema change alerts. Read more - Filesystem & Buckets: Store data in remote file systems and bucket storages like S3, Google Storage, or Azure Blob Storage using
dlt. Find out more - Databricks Integration: Use
dltwith Databricks by setting up a workspace, metastore, and Unity Catalog. Learn how - Snowflake Authentication:
dltsupports multiple authentication types for Snowflake, including password, key pair, and external authentication. Discover 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 filesystem and supply the credentials as outlined in the destination doc linked below.
The default filesystem destination is configured to connect to AWS S3. To load to a local directory, remove the [destination.filesystem.credentials] section from your secrets.toml and provide a local filepath as the bucket_url.
[destination.filesystem] # in ./dlt/secrets.toml
bucket_url="file://path/to/my/output"
By default, the filesystem destination will store your files as JSONL. You can tell your pipeline to choose a different format with the loader_file_format property that you can set directly on the pipeline or via your config.toml. Available values are jsonl, parquet and csv:
[pipeline] # in ./dlt/config.toml
loader_file_format="parquet"
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 The Local Filesystem 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: Use GitHub Actions for CI/CD to deploy your
dltpipelines. Follow the guide here. - Deploy with Airflow and Google Composer: Leverage Airflow and Google Composer for managing your
dltpipeline deployments. Learn more here. - Deploy with Google Cloud Functions: Utilize Google Cloud Functions for deploying your
dltpipelines serverlessly. Detailed instructions can be found here. - Other Deployment Methods: Explore various other methods to deploy your
dltpipelines. 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 to ensure smooth operation and timely detection of issues. How to Monitor your pipeline - Set up alerts: Set up alerts to get notified about critical events and errors in your
dltpipeline, ensuring that you can take immediate action. Set up alerts - Set up tracing: Implement tracing to get detailed insights into the execution of your
dltpipeline, including timing information and configuration details. Set up tracing
