Load Data from X
to Redshift
Using dlt
in Python
Join our Slack community or book a call with our support engineer Violetta.
Loading data from X
, commonly referred to by its former name Twitter, to Redshift
can be efficiently achieved using the open-source Python library dlt
. X
is a social networking service that provides an API enabling programmatic access to core elements such as Posts, Direct Messages, Spaces, Lists, and users. Redshift
is Amazon's fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud, which allows you to start with a few hundred gigabytes and scale up to a petabyte or more. With dlt
, you can seamlessly extract data from X
and load it into Redshift
, ensuring efficient data handling and scalability. For more information on the X
API, visit https://www.x.com/.

Getting started with your pipeline locally
dlt-init-openapi
0. 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 x --url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dlt-hub/openapi-specs/main/open_api_specs/Business/twitter.yaml --global-limit 2
cd x_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:
x_pipeline/
├── .dlt/
│ ├── config.toml # configs for your pipeline
│ └── secrets.toml # secrets for your pipeline
├── rest_api/ # The rest api verified source
│ └── ...
├── x/
│ └── __init__.py # TODO: possibly tweak this file
├── x_pipeline.py # your main pipeline script
├── requirements.txt # dependencies for your pipeline
└── .gitignore # ignore files for git (not required)
1.1. Tweak x/__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 x source will look like this:

2. Configuring your source and destination credentials
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.x]
# Base URL for the API
# Twitter API
base_url = "https://api.twitter.com"
generated secrets.toml
[sources.x]
# secrets for your x source
token = "FILL ME OUT" # TODO: fill in your credentials
2.1. Adjust the generated code to your usecase
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 x_pipeline.py
to redshift 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 x_pipeline.py
, as well as a folder x
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 x import x_source
if __name__ == "__main__":
pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
pipeline_name="x_pipeline",
destination='duckdb',
dataset_name="x_data",
progress="log",
export_schema_path="schemas/export"
)
source = x_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 x_pipeline.py
4. Inspecting your load result
You can now inspect the state of your pipeline with the dlt
cli:
dlt pipeline x_pipeline info
You can also use streamlit to inspect the contents of your Redshift
destination for this:
# install streamlit
pip install streamlit
# run the streamlit app for your pipeline with the dlt cli:
dlt pipeline x_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
dlt
pipeline using GitHub Actions for CI/CD automation. Read more - Deploy with Airflow and Google Composer: Discover how to deploy your
dlt
pipeline with Airflow, including using Google Composer. Read more - Deploy with Google Cloud Functions: Understand the steps to deploy your
dlt
pipeline using Google Cloud Functions. Read more - Explore Other Deployment Options: Check out various other methods to deploy your
dlt
pipeline, including different cloud services and environments. Read more
The running in production section will teach you about:
- How to Monitor your pipeline: Learn how to effectively monitor your
dlt
pipeline in production to ensure smooth operation and quick issue detection. Read more here. - Set up alerts: Setting up alerts can help you stay informed about the status of your
dlt
pipeline and quickly respond to any issues. Find out how here. - And set up tracing: Tracing provides detailed insights into the execution of your
dlt
pipeline, helping you diagnose and resolve issues efficiently. Learn how to set it up here.
