Property Management System Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a Property Management System-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI Workbench support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
Supergood Property Management API is a gateway that normalizes property management system (PMS) data (properties, units/rooms, tenants, GL accounts, occupancy, settings) across multiple PMS platforms so integrations can pull consistent JSON payloads. The REST API base URL is https://api.supergood.ai/integrations/{integration_id} and Username/password (or managed service credentials) with MFA; API returns an auth token used as Bearer for subsequent requests..
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 Property Management System data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from Property Management System?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Property Management System:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| integrations_sync | /integrations/{integration_id}/sync | GET / POST | For GET: top-level keys depend on call (e.g. units -> "units", tenants -> "tenants", gl_accounts -> "gl_accounts"). Leave empty when response is top-level object. | Pull synchronized domain data (occupancy, GL accounts, tenants). |
| auth | /integrations/{integration_id}/auth | POST | authToken | Authenticate with PMS credentials; returns token in response key "authToken". |
| tenants_search | /integrations/{integration_id}/sync (search body) | POST | tenants | Search tenants; results array under "tenants". |
| gl_accounts | /integrations/{integration_id}/sync | GET | gl_accounts | Retrieve chart of accounts; results under "gl_accounts". |
| occupancy | /integrations/{integration_id}/sync | GET | units | Occupancy/units list under "units" (response top-level contains property-level summary and "units" array). |
| properties | (Booking.com Property API) /property-api/properties (platform-specific) | GET | varies (Booking docs: property endpoints return JSON objects; require property_id) | Manage property metadata (Booking.com examples documented at developers.booking.com). |
| units (Alexa Smart Properties) | /v2/units (Host varies by region) | GET | results | Alexa Smart Properties List units returns array under "results" and paginationContext.nextToken. |
| alfresco_nodes | /alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes | GET | list (Alfresco uses collection responses with entries key in some endpoints — see endpoint docs) | Alfresco repository endpoints; collection responses follow Alfresco collection format (e.g. entries). |
How do I authenticate with the Property Management System API?
Authenticate by POSTing JSON credentials to /integrations/{integration_id}/auth (body: domain, email, password). Response contains {"authToken":"..."}. Use Authorization: Bearer {token} header on subsequent calls.
1. Get your credentials
- Sign up / log in to Supergood dashboard. 2) Create an integration for your PMS to obtain the integration_id. 3) Under integration details provide platform domain and generate or register service account credentials (email/password) or supply customer credentials. 4) POST domain/email/password to /integrations/{integration_id}/auth to receive authToken. 5) Store returned token and use Bearer auth for sync calls.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.pms_source_source] api_key = "sg_auth_token_here" integration_id = "89e4dffe-4624-4ce9-bcf2-4e8686d157be"
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 Property Management System 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 pms_source_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline pms_source_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset pms_source_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/pms_source.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs
Inspect your pipeline and data:
dlt pipeline pms_source_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 units and tenants from the Property Management System 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 pms_source_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.supergood.ai/integrations/{integration_id}", "auth": { "type": "bearer", "token": api_key, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "units", "endpoint": {"path": "integrations/{integration_id}/sync (GET with occupancy)", "data_selector": "units"}}, {"name": "tenants", "endpoint": {"path": "integrations/{integration_id}/sync (POST search body)", "data_selector": "tenants"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="pms_source_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="pms_source_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(pms_source_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("pms_source_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.units.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM pms_source_data.units LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("pms_source_pipeline").dataset() data.units.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 Property Management System 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
If POST /integrations/{integration_id}/auth returns 4xx, verify domain/email/password and that MFA was handled. Supergood returns {"authToken":"..."} on success. If 401, refresh credentials and request a new token.
Rate limiting and retries
Some provider endpoints (Alexa, Booking) return 429. Implement exponential backoff and respect maxResults limits (Alexa maxResults 50). Supergood states rate limits are optimized per-platform.
Pagination quirks
Alexa Smart Properties uses "paginationContext.nextToken" for subsequent pages. Booking and other PMS APIs often use page/total_results keys (supergood sample returns "total_results" and "page"). For Supergood sync endpoints include page parameters in POST body or nextToken as provided.
Common API errors
- 400 Bad Request — malformed or missing required parameters.
- 401 Unauthorized — missing/expired token or invalid credentials.
- 403 Forbidden — token valid but operation not allowed.
- 404 Not Found — resource not found (wrong integration_id or resource id).
- 429 Too Many Requests — rate limit exceeded; retry with backoff.
- 500/503 Server Error — server-side errors; retry later.
Notes and recommendations
- Exact Supergood base: use https://api.supergood.ai/integrations/{integration_id} and call /auth then /sync. Example responses from docs show gl_accounts under "gl_accounts", tenants under "tenants", occupancy units under "units" and search returns include "total_results" and "page".
- Alexa Smart Properties host varies by country (https://api.amazonalexa.com or https://api.eu.amazonalexa.com etc.); list units endpoint returns records under "results" and paginationContext.nextToken.
- Alfresco REST API base pattern: https://{host}/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/... and many collection endpoints return collections with entries or similar collection wrappers; consult endpoint-specific docs when integrating.
Ensure that the API key is valid to avoid 401 Unauthorized errors. Also, verify endpoint paths and parameters to avoid 404 Not Found errors.
