Preliminary Datafold SDK

The Datafold SDK are python functions and classes that allow you to integrate these CLI functions directly in your application source code.

In the future, the SDK will contain a more type-safe and integrated "API" client library, which further facilitates integration with the datafold app server.

The only function currently implemented is the submit_artifacts function to upload the dbt run artifacts to the app server:

import os

from datafold.sdk.dbt import submit_artifacts

host = os.environ.get("DATAFOLD_HOST")
api_key = os.environ.get('DATAFOLD_APIKEY')

submit_artifacts(host=host,
                 api_key=api_key,
                 ci_config_id=1,
                 run_type='pull_request',
                 target_folder='<abs-path-to-dbt-target-folder>',
                 commit_sha='abcdef1234567890')
