This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
DataHub SDK and CLI
DataHub's ingestion framework and CLI — pull metadata from 50+ data sources into your catalog, or push it programmatically from your own pipelines and applications.
Pull-based integrations crawl your data systems on a schedule: Snowflake, BigQuery, dbt, Looker, Airflow, and many more.
Push-based integrations let you emit metadata directly from code as it happens: Python SDK, Java SDK, Spark, Great Expectations, and others.
What you can do
- Pull metadata from databases, warehouses, BI tools, and orchestrators using 50+ ready-made connectors
- Push metadata programmatically using the Python or Java SDK
- Transform and filter metadata in transit using built-in transformers
- Schedule and manage ingestion pipelines via CLI or the DataHub UI
- Automate lineage, ownership, tags, and documentation across your data assets
Supported sources
Snowflake · BigQuery · Redshift · dbt · Databricks · Looker · Tableau · Power BI · Airflow · Spark · Kafka · PostgreSQL · MySQL · Hive · Glue · S3 · Iceberg · Unity Catalog · Sigma · Mode · Superset · Metabase · and many more
Installation
pip install acryl-datahub
datahub version
Quickstart
Pull metadata from a source (recipe)
# snowflake_recipe.yml
source:
type: snowflake
config:
account_id: my_account
username: my_user
password: my_password
role: DATAHUB_ROLE
warehouse: COMPUTE_WH
sink:
type: datahub-rest
config:
server: http://localhost:8080
datahub ingest -c snowflake_recipe.yml
Emit metadata from code (SDK)
from datahub.sdk import DataHubClient, Dataset
client = DataHubClient.from_env()
dataset = Dataset(platform="snowflake", name="mydb.schema.table")
dataset.set_description("My table description")
dataset.set_owners(["urn:li:corpuser:jane"])
client.entities.upsert(dataset)
Ingest via the DataHub UI
No CLI required — configure and run ingestion directly from the DataHub UI under Ingestion → Create new source.
Ingestion methods
| Method | Best for |
|---|---|
| CLI + YAML recipe | Scheduled batch ingestion, CI/CD pipelines |
| Python SDK | Programmatic or event-driven metadata emission |
| Java SDK | JVM-based integrations (Spark, Flink, etc.) |
| UI Ingestion | One-click setup, no code required |
Key CLI commands
datahub init # Connect to a DataHub instance (interactive)
datahub init --username datahub --password datahub # Quickstart with local defaults
datahub ingest -c recipe.yml # Run an ingestion pipeline
datahub search "my table" # Search for entities by keyword
datahub search "*" --filter platform=snowflake --filter entity_type=dataset
datahub graphql --list-operations # Explore all available GraphQL operations
datahub graphql --query "{ me { corpUser { urn } } }" # Run a GraphQL query
datahub get --urn <urn> # Fetch metadata for an entity
datahub delete --urn <urn> # Delete a metadata entity
datahub timeline --urn <urn> # View metadata change history
