--help Show this message and exit.
Commands:
auth View configured Gable authentication information
contract Validate/publish contracts and check data asset compliance
data-asset Commands for data assets
ping Pings the Gable API to check for connectivity
Getting Started
gable is hosted on PyPi, so to install it just run:
pip install gable
Installing Additional Modules for MySQL and PostgreSQL
Gable's CLI allows you to introspect your database and register tables as data assets within Gable's system. Connecting to these databases require additional packages to communicate with your database(s) of choice.
For MySQL, install the additional packages by running:
pip install 'gable[mysql]'
For PostgreSQL, install the additional packages by running:
pip install 'gable[postgres]'
To install all additional dependencies at once, you can run:
pip install 'gable[all]'
Uploading Lineage Results
Upload a single legacy results file with --results-file:
gable lineage upload --project-root . --namespace dev --results-file results.json
Referenced Prime artifacts require all three explicit file arguments:
gable lineage upload --project-root . --namespace dev \
--strands-file strands.json \
--metadata-file strand-metadata.json \
--code-paths-file code-paths.json
Only explicitly named files are uploaded; sibling files are never discovered.
Incomplete artifact sets, missing files, and conflicting options are rejected before
any upload. Referenced artifacts cannot be combined with --results-file.
The referenced trio is packaged into one gzip-compressed tar stream and sent to
/sca/results through the existing chunk transport. There is no separate
declaration or completion call. The command succeeds only after the server
confirms that all three files are present and valid. Partial transfers are not
usable, and individual files cannot replace an existing set.
Retry the same command after an interruption. The CLI saves a small
<strands-file>.upload-<identity>.json retry-state file before uploading. Keep that
file to resume automatically. State is scoped to file contents and target, so a
different scan or endpoint does not reuse an unrelated run. No scan artifacts are
modified. Use --run-id <UUIDv7> to resume a known run explicitly or to request a
new run; different content under an existing run ID is rejected by the server.
Setting up zsh/bash Autocomplete
The Gable CLI supports shell autocomplete for zsh and bash so you can hit TAB to see available commands and options as you write the command.
To enable it, run the following commands:
_SHELL=zsh # or bash
GABLE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.config/gable
mkdir -p $GABLE_CONFIG_DIR
_GABLE_COMPLETE=${_SHELL}_source gable > $GABLE_CONFIG_DIR/complete.sh
Then add the following to your shell startup scripts (e.g. .zshrc, .bashrc):
source ~/.config/gable/complete.sh
Authentication
To establish an authenticated connection with Gable via the CLI, you need:
- The API endpoint associated with your organization
- An API key that corresponds to the endpoint
In order to find your API key and API endpoint, see the documentation in your Gable web app at (/docs/settings/api_keys).
There are two supported methods for providing this config to the CLI:
Authenticating with CLI Arguments
You have the option to pass the endpoint and API key information directly as arguments during the CLI invocation. For example:
gable --endpoint "https://api.yourorganization.gable.ai" --api-key "yourapikey" ping
Authenticating with Environment Variables
To avoid providing this config every time you execute a command, you can set them as environment variables: GABLE_API_ENDPOINT and GABLE_API_KEY. To make them persistent in your environment, add this to your shell initialization file (e.g. .zshrc or .bashrc):
export GABLE_API_ENDPOINT="https://api.yourorganization.gable.ai"
export GABLE_API_KEY="yourapikey"
Then, you can simply use the CLI as follows:
gable ping
Accessing APIs Behind Proxies (Custom API Headers)
To access the Gable API behind corporate or customer proxies that require custom authentication, users can provide additional HTTP headers using the GABLE_API_HEADERS environment variable. This feature is essential for organizations whose infrastructure enforces proxy authentication or requires custom metadata in API requests.
Usage
Set the GABLE_API_HEADERS environment variable as a JSON string containing your custom headers:
export GABLE_API_HEADERS='{"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN", "X-Proxy-Header": "proxy-value"}'
When set, these headers are automatically included in every API request made by the CLI or client library. Custom headers will override default headers (such as X-API-KEY), allowing flexible integration with proxies, gateways, or custom authentication schemes.
Example
export GABLE_API_KEY=your_api_key
export GABLE_API_ENDPOINT=https://api.example.com
export GABLE_API_HEADERS='{"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN", "X-Proxy-Header": "proxy-value"}'
gable ping
Uploading compliance results
Create a results file with the existing upload envelope:
{"type":"COMPLIANCE","run_id":"01900000-0000-7000-8000-000000000010","data":{}}
gable lineage upload --project-root . --namespace dev --results-file compliance.json
The run must already have a component and uploaded strands. data is a
provisional object with no domain-specific schema. Results are stored at
strands/<run_id>/compliance.json; another upload replaces the previous document
without creating a run or changing its status.
