Eventee Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a Eventee-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI Workbench support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
Eventee is a public API for managing events, agendas, attendees, speakers, tickets and related event data. The REST API base URL is https://api.eventee.co and All requests require a Bearer token sent in the Authorization header..
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 Eventee data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from Eventee?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Eventee:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| events | v1/events | GET | data | List events for the account |
| event | v1/events/{id} | GET | data | Single event details |
| attendees | v1/attendees | GET | data | List attendees across events or for event (filter by event_id) |
| speakers | v1/speakers | GET | data | List speakers for events |
| agenda_items | v1/events/{id}/agenda | GET | data | Agenda/session items for an event |
| tickets | v1/tickets | GET | data | List ticket types and sales info |
| venues | v1/venues | GET | data | List venues |
| create_attendee | v1/attendees | POST | data | Create/import attendee (included for completeness) |
How do I authenticate with the Eventee API?
Generate an API token in the Eventee admin (https://admin.eventee.co) under Settings -> Features. Include header: Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>. Recommend also: Accept: application/json and Content-type: application/json.
1. Get your credentials
- Log into https://admin.eventee.co. 2) Go to Settings -> Features. 3) Locate ‘API token’ / ‘Public API’ section and generate a new token. 4) Copy the token and store securely; use it in the Authorization header as Bearer .
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.eventee_source] api_token = "your_eventee_api_token_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 Eventee 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 eventee_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline eventee_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset eventee_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/eventee.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs
Inspect your pipeline and data:
dlt pipeline eventee_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 events and attendees from the Eventee 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 eventee_source(api_token=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.eventee.co", "auth": { "type": "bearer", "token": api_token, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "events", "endpoint": {"path": "v1/events", "data_selector": "data"}}, {"name": "attendees", "endpoint": {"path": "v1/attendees", "data_selector": "data"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="eventee_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="eventee_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(eventee_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("eventee_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.events.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM eventee_data.events LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("eventee_pipeline").dataset() data.events.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 Eventee 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.
Troubleshooting
Authentication failures
Ensure Authorization: Bearer header is present. 401 Unauthorized indicates missing/invalid token or wrong environment token.
Rate limits
The API enforces rate limits; if you receive 429 Too Many Requests, implement exponential backoff and respect Retry-After header.
Pagination
List endpoints use paginated responses. Use page and per_page (or limit/offset) query parameters as documented; results arrays are under the 'data' key. Check response meta for total pages/total items.
Error responses
Set Accept: application/json to receive JSON-formatted errors. Errors return HTTP status codes (4xx/5xx) with JSON body describing the issue.
Ensure that the API key is valid to avoid 401 Unauthorized errors. Also, verify endpoint paths and parameters to avoid 404 Not Found errors.
