Loading Data from X to YugabyteDB Using Python's dlt
tip
We will be using the dlt PostgreSQL destination to connect to YugabyteDB. You can get the connection string for your YugabyteDB database as described in the YugabyteDB Docs.

X, commonly referred to by its former name Twitter, is a social networking service. The X API enables programmatic access to X's core elements like Posts, Direct Messages, Spaces, Lists, users, and more. YugabyteDB is a distributed PostgreSQL for modern apps. It allows running business-critical applications on a distributed database with built-in resilience, seamless scalability, and flexible geo-distribution using PostgreSQL-compatible and Cassandra-inspired APIs. This documentation provides guidance on loading data from X into YugabyteDB using the open source python library called dlt. Further information about X can be found at https://www.x.com/.

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 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
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.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
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 x_pipeline.py to postgres 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 YugabyteDB 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 set up continuous integration and deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions.
- Deploy with Airflow and Google Composer: Follow this guide to deploy your pipeline using Airflow and Google Composer.
- Deploy with Google Cloud Functions: Discover how to deploy your pipeline using Google Cloud Functions.
- Explore more deployment options: Check out additional methods for deploying your pipeline 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 issues. How to Monitor your pipeline - Set up alerts: Configure alerts to get notified about important events and potential issues in your
dltpipeline. Set up alerts - Set up tracing: Implement tracing to gather detailed runtime information about your
dltpipeline, helping you diagnose and resolve issues more efficiently. And set up tracing
