dbt-run-api 0.0.7

A small package

dbt-run-api

Once installed allows DBT commands to be sent via an api call.

Installation:

pip install dbt-run-api

NOTE: currently the package comes with dbt-postgres. If you need another adapter then it would have to be install separately

Set up:

After installing the package ensure your DBT project is set up correctly with all needed profile variables either explicitly defined or available as ENV-variables.

Execution:

Run server while in the same directory as your `dbt_project.yml':

uvicorn dbt_run_api:app

Ensure you DBT project has access to the database you have defined in profile.yml

Send call to endpoint:

curl --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --request POST \
     http://localhost:8000/dbt \
    --data \
    '{  "cmd": "run",  "vars": {"test_var": "1", "date": "20240423"},  "target": "dev",  "threads" : 8,  "project-dir": "wab",  "profiles-dir": "wab",  "full-refresh": true}'

curl --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --request POST \
     http://localhost:8000/dbt \
    --data \
    '{  "cmd": "test"}'

Notes:

• commands are passed without dbt at the start. All dbt commands should be valid e.g run, test, et cetera.
