dbt Cloud command line interface (CLI)

Project description

CircleCI

dbt-cloud-cli

dbt-cloud-cli is a command line interface for dbt Cloud API. It abstracts the REST API calls in an easy-to-use interface that can be incorporated into automated and manual (ad-hoc) workloads. Here are some example use cases for dbt-cloud-cli:

  1. Triggering a dbt Cloud job to run in a CI/CD pipeline: Use dbt-cloud job run in a CI/CD workflow (e.g., Github Actions) to trigger a dbt Cloud job that runs and tests the changes in a commit branch
  2. Setting up dbt Cloud jobs: Use dbt-cloud job create to create standardized jobs between dbt Cloud projects. You can also use dbt-cloud job export to export an existing job from one dbt Cloud project and then dbt-cloud job import to import it to another.
  3. Downloading run artifacts: Use dbt-cloud run get-artifact to download run artifacts (e.g., catalog.json) from dbt Cloud.
  4. Retrieving metadata: Use dbt-cloud metadata query to retrieve metadata (e.g., model execution times, test results) from a dbt Cloud project.

Installation

dbt-cloud-cli has been tested with the following Python versions:

  • ✅ Python 3.6
  • ✅ Python 3.7
  • ✅ Python 3.8
  • ✅ Python 3.9
  • ✅ Python 3.10

Installation from PyPI:

pip install dbt-cloud-cli

Running in Docker:

Environment variables

The following environment variables are used as argument defaults:

  • DBT_CLOUD_HOST (--dbt-cloud-host): dbt Cloud host (cloud.getdbt.com (multi-tenant instance) by default if the environment variable is not set)
  • DBT_CLOUD_API_TOKEN (--api-token): API authentication key
  • DBT_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_ID (--account-id): Numeric ID of the dbt Cloud account
  • DBT_CLOUD_JOB_ID (--job-id): Numeric ID of a dbt Cloud job

dbt-cloud run cancel

This command cancels a dbt Cloud run. For more information on the API endpoint arguments and response, run dbt-cloud run cancel --help and check out the dbt Cloud API docs.

A run can be to be 'cancelled' irregardless of it's previous status. This means that you can send a request to cancel a previously successful / errored run (and nothing happens practically) and the response status would be similar to cancelling a currently queued or running run.

Usage
>> dbt-cloud run cancel --run-id 36053848

dbt-cloud run cancel-all

💡 This command is a composition of one or more base commands.

This command fetches all runs on the account, cancels them one-by-one after user confirmation via prompt and prints out the run cancellation responses. For more information on the command and its arguments, run dbt-cloud run cancel-all --help.

You should typically use this with a --status arg of either Running or Queued as cancellations can be requested against all runs. Without this, you will effectively be trying to cancel all runs that had ever been scheduled in the project irregardless of its' current status (which could take a long time if your project has had a lot of previous runs).

Usage
>> dbt-cloud run cancel-all --status Running
Runs to cancel: [36053848]
Cancel run 36053848? [y/N]: yes
Run 36053848 has been cancelled.

dbt-cloud run list-artifacts

This command fetches a list of artifact files generated for a completed run. For more information on the API endpoint arguments and response, run dbt-cloud run list-artifacts --help and check out the dbt Cloud API docs.

Usage
>> dbt-cloud run list-artifacts --run-id 36053848
{
  "status": {
    "code": 200,
    "is_success": true,
    "user_message": "Success!",
    "developer_message": ""
  },
  "data": [
    "manifest.json",
    "run/jaffle_shop/data/raw_customers.csv",
    "run/jaffle_shop/data/raw_orders.csv",
    "run/jaffle_shop/data/raw_payments.csv",
    "run_results.json"
  ]
}

dbt-cloud run get-artifact

This command fetches an artifact file from a completed run. Once a run has completed, you can use this command to download the manifest.json, run_results.json or catalog.json files from dbt Cloud. These artifacts contain information about the models in your dbt project, timing information around their execution, and a status message indicating the result of the model build.

For more information on the API endpoint arguments and response, run dbt-cloud run get-artifact --help and check out the dbt Cloud API docs.

Usage
>> dbt-cloud run get-artifact --run-id 36053848 --path manifest.json > manifest.json

dbt-cloud metadata query

This command queries the dbt Cloud Metadata API using GraphQL. For more information on the Metadata API, see the docs.

Usage
>> dbt-cloud metadata query -f query.graphql
{
  "data": {
    "model": {
      "parentsModels": [
        {
          "runId": 39352464,
          "uniqueId": "model.jaffle_shop.stg_orders",
          "executionTime": 0.870538949966431
        },
        {
          "runId": 39352464,
          "uniqueId": "model.jaffle_shop.stg_payments",
          "executionTime": 0.635890483856201
        },
        {
          "runId": 39352464,
          "uniqueId": "model.jaffle_shop.stg_customers",
          "executionTime": 0.697099924087524
        }
      ],
      "parentsSources": []
    }
  }
}
""" query.graphql """
{
  model(jobId: 49663, uniqueId: "model.jaffle_shop.customers") {
    parentsModels {
      runId
      uniqueId
      executionTime
    }
    parentsSources {
      runId
      uniqueId
      state
    }
  }
}

An alternative way of using the command without saving the GraphQL query to a file is to pipe it to dbt-cloud metadata query.

>> echo '{
  model(jobId: 49663, uniqueId: "model.jaffle_shop.customers") {
    parentsModels {
      runId
      uniqueId
      executionTime
    }
    parentsSources {
      runId
      uniqueId
      state
    }
  }
}' | dbt-cloud metadata query
