Load Microsoft Security Discoveredsecuritysolutions data in Python using dltHub

Build a Microsoft Security Discoveredsecuritysolutions-to-database or-dataframe pipeline in Python using dlt with automatic Cursor support.

In this guide, we'll set up a complete Microsoft Security Discoveredsecuritysolutions data pipeline from API credentials to your first data load in just 10 minutes. You'll end up with a fully declarative Python pipeline based on dlt's REST API connector, like in the partial example code below:

Example code
@dlt.source
def microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions_source(access_token=dlt.secrets.value):
    config: RESTAPIConfig = {
        "client": {
            "base_url": "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/providers/Microsoft.Security/",
            "auth": {
                "type": "bearer",
                "token": access_token,
            },
        },
        "resources": [
            discoveredSecuritySolutions, resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Security/discoveredSecuritySolutions
        ],
    }
    [...]
    yield from rest_api_resources(config)


def get_data() -> None:
    # Connect to destination
    pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
        pipeline_name='microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions_pipeline',
        destination='duckdb',
        dataset_name='microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions_data', 
    )
    # Load the data
    load_info = pipeline.run(microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions_source())
    print(load_info)

Why use dltHub Workspace with LLM Context to generate Python pipelines?

  • Accelerate pipeline development with AI-native context
  • Debug pipelines, validate schemas and data with the integrated Pipeline Dashboard
  • Build Python notebooks for end users of your data
  • Low maintenance thanks to Schema evolution with type inference, resilience and self documenting REST API connectors. A shallow learning curve makes the pipeline easy to extend by any team member
  • dlt is the tool of choice for Pythonic Iceberg Lakehouses, bringing mature data loading to pythonic Iceberg with or without catalogs

What you’ll do

We’ll show you how to generate a readable and easily maintainable Python script that fetches data from microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions’s API and loads it into Iceberg, DataFrames, files, or a database of your choice. Here are some of the endpoints you can load:

  • Discovered Security Solutions: Retrieve security solutions that have been discovered in your Azure environment at subscription or resource group level

You will then debug the Microsoft Security Discoveredsecuritysolutions pipeline using our Pipeline Dashboard tool to ensure it is copying the data correctly, before building a Notebook to explore your data and build reports.

Setup & steps to follow

💡
Before getting started, let's make sure Cursor is set up correctly:

Now you're ready to get started!

  1. ⚙️ Set up dlt Workspace

    Install dlt with duckdb support:

    pip install dlt[workspace]

    Initialize a dlt pipeline with Microsoft Security Discoveredsecuritysolutions support.

    dlt init dlthub:microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions duckdb

    The init command will setup the necessary files and folders for the next step.

  2. 🤠 Start LLM-assisted coding

    Here’s a prompt to get you started:

    Prompt
    Please generate a REST API Source for Microsoft Security Discoveredsecuritysolutions API, as specified in @microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions-docs.yaml 
Start with endpoint(s) discoveredSecuritySolutions and resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Security/discoveredSecuritySolutions and skip incremental loading for now. 
Place the code in microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions_pipeline.py and name the pipeline microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions_pipeline. 
If the file exists, use it as a starting point. 
Do not add or modify any other files. 
Use @dlt rest api as a tutorial. 
After adding the endpoints, allow the user to run the pipeline with python microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions_pipeline.py and await further instructions.

  3. 🔒 Set up credentials

    Azure Active Directory OAuth2 authentication is required. Use the authorization endpoint at https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize with implicit flow. Include the access token in the Authorization header as a Bearer token for all requests to the API.

    To get the appropriate API keys, please visit the original source at redocly.github.io. If you want to protect your environment secrets in a production environment, look into setting up credentials with dlt.

  4. 🏃‍♀️ Run the pipeline in the Python terminal in Cursor

    python microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions_pipeline.py

    If your pipeline runs correctly, you’ll see something like the following:

    Pipeline microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions load step completed in 0.26 seconds
1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions_data
The duckdb destination used duckdb:/microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions.duckdb location to store data
Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs

  5. 📈 Debug your pipeline and data with the Pipeline Dashboard

    Now that you have a running pipeline, you need to make sure it’s correct, so you do not introduce silent failures like misconfigured pagination or incremental loading errors. By launching the dlt Workspace Pipeline Dashboard, you can see various information about the pipeline to enable you to test it. Here you can see:

    • Pipeline overview: State, load metrics
    • Data’s schema: tables, columns, types, hints
    • You can query the data itself
    dlt pipeline microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions_pipeline show

  6. 🐍 Build a Notebook with data explorations and reports

    With the pipeline and data partially validated, you can continue with custom data explorations and reports. To get started, paste the snippet below into a new marimo Notebook and ask your LLM to go from there. Jupyter Notebooks and regular Python scripts are supported as well.

    import dlt

data = dlt.pipeline("microsoft_security_discoveredsecuritysolutions_pipeline").dataset()
# get discoveredSecuritySolutions table as Pandas frame
data.discoveredSecuritySolutions.df().head()
