sushitruck

SushiTruck is the streaming ingestion and API connector toolkit for the food truck fleet — the conveyor belt of the data pipeline.

Just like conveyor belt sushi: data flows continuously past, and you consume exactly what you need, at your own pace.

pip install sushitruck

SushiTruck handles the intake side of a data pipeline: connecting to external APIs, streaming sources, and files/object stores, then normalizing everything into clean pd.DataFrames ready for ThaiTruck (cleaning/merging) and RamenTruck (ML/AI).

External World → SushiTruck (ingest, connect, normalize) →
                 ThaiTruck (clean, merge, profile) →
                 RamenTruck (train, tune, explain)

The Belt

Quick examples

Pull data from a REST API:

from sushitruck import maki

client = maki.MakiClient(
    "https://api.example.com/v2",
    auth={"type": "bearer", "token": "my-token"},
    rate_limit=10.0,
    retries=3,
)

df = client.fetch("/transactions", paginate=True, results_key="data.transactions")

Read a large local or S3 file in memory-safe chunks:

from sushitruck import sashimi

for chunk_df in sashimi.read("big_trades.csv", chunksize=50_000):
    process(chunk_df)

Flatten and normalize a raw payload:

from sushitruck import wasabi

df = wasabi.flatten([{"price": "142.5", "meta": {"source": "bloomberg"}}])
schema = {
    "price": {"dtype": float, "nullable": False},
    "meta_source": {"dtype": str, "nullable": True, "rename": "source"},
}
clean = wasabi.normalize(df, schema)

Coordinate a multi-source batch job:

from sushitruck import temaki

job = (
    temaki.TemakiJob(workers=4, on_error="warn")
    .add_glob("s3://my-bucket/prices/*.parquet", storage="s3")
    .add_api(client, "/supplemental", paginate=True, results_key="data")
    .add_file("local_overrides.csv")
)
result = job.run()
print(result.total_rows, result.sources_failed)

Route the output:

from sushitruck import tobiko

tobiko.send(clean_df, "s3://my-bucket/processed/trades/", format="parquet", partition_by="date")

Optional extras

The core install requires only pandas, numpy, and requests. Everything else is opt-in:

pip install sushitruck              # core: REST APIs, local files, webhook/websocket streaming
pip install sushitruck[kafka]       # + Kafka streaming
pip install sushitruck[kinesis]     # + AWS Kinesis streaming
pip install sushitruck[cloud]       # + S3 and GCS object store
pip install sushitruck[websocket]   # + WebSocket streaming
pip install sushitruck[all]         # everything

Fleet

SushiTruck, ThaiTruck, and RamenTruck are fully independent packages — none imports another. They compose at the application layer through pd.DataFrame.

• SushiTruck — streaming ingestion & API connectors (this package)
• ThaiTruck — batch DataFrame cleaning & processing
• RamenTruck — ML/AI toolkit
