Universal Python connector for APIs - Query any data source with SQL

WaveQL

The Universal SQL Connector for Modern APIs
Query ServiceNow, Salesforce, Jira, and more using standard SQL.

---

WaveQL is the Universal SQL Connector for your modern data stack.

It unifies SaaS APIs (ServiceNow, Salesforce, Jira), Databases (Postgres, MySQL), and Files (CSV, Excel/XLSX, Parquet) under a single, standard SQL interface.

Instead of writing custom scripts for every data source, use WaveQL to:

• Query live API data using SQL.
• Join complex data sources (e.g., "Join ServiceNow Incidents with a local Excel sheet of VIP users").
• Stream changes in real-time.

Built for data engineers and developers, it translates your SQL queries into optimized API calls (pushing down predicates like WHERE and ORDER BY) and handles authentications automatically.

Why WaveQL?

• Universal Adapter System: Connect to ServiceNow, Salesforce, Jira, or generic REST APIs with a unified interface.
• Intelligent Query Pushdown: We don't just fetch all data. WHERE clauses are translated into native API filters (e.g., JQL, SOQL) for maximum performance.
• Change Data Capture (CDC): Real-time streaming of table changes (Inserts, Updates) directly from your SaaS apps.
• Cross-Source JOINs: Seamlessly join data between your local CSVs, a Jira backlog, and ServiceNow incidents using our DuckDB-powered engine.
• Async Built-in: Built on httpx and anyio for high-concurrency, non-blocking applications.
• Data Science Ready: Native integrations with Pandas, PyArrow, and SQLAlchemy (works with Superset!).

Installation

pip install waveql

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/mitayan0/WaveQL.git
cd WaveQL
pip install -e .

Quick Start

1. Querying ServiceNow

import waveql

# Connect securely
conn = waveql.connect(
    "servicenow://instance.service-now.com",
    username="admin",
    password="your-password"
)

# Execute standard SQL
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("""
    SELECT number, short_description, priority 
    FROM incident 
    WHERE state = 1 AND priority <= 2
    ORDER BY number DESC
    LIMIT 10
""")

# Work with results
for row in cursor:
    print(f"[{row.number}] {row.short_description}")

# Or get a Pandas DataFrame instantly
df = cursor.fetchall().to_df()
print(df.head())

2. Async Support & CDC

Building a modern event-driven app?

import asyncio
from waveql import connect_async

async def main():
    async with await connect_async("servicenow://...") as conn:
        # 1. Async Query
        cursor = conn.cursor()
        await cursor.execute("SELECT count(*) FROM incident")
        print(await cursor.fetchone())
        
        # 2. Stream Changes (CDC)
        async for change in conn.stream_changes("incident"):
            print(f"Update on {change.key}: {change.operation}")

asyncio.run(main())

3. The Power of "Join Global"

Combine data from APIs, Files, and Databases in one query.

# 1. Register a local Excel file
conn.execute("CREATE TABLE vip_users AS SELECT * FROM 'vips.xlsx'")

# 2. Join ServiceNow Incidents with the Excel file
# Find high-priority incidents affecting VIP users
cursor.execute("""
    SELECT 
        sn.number as ticket,
        sn.short_description,
        vip.name as vip_name,
        vip.department
    FROM servicenow.incident sn
    JOIN vip_users vip ON sn.caller_id = vip.user_id
    WHERE sn.priority = 1
""")

for row in cursor:
    print(f"VIP Alert: {row.vip_name} has ticket {row.ticket}")

Supported Adapters

Adapter	URI Scheme	Features
ServiceNow	servicenow://	Table API, Aggregates (SUM/COUNT/AVG), CDC, CRUD
Salesforce	salesforce://	SOQL Pushdown, Bulk API support, CRUD
Jira	jira://	JQL Pushdown, Pagination, CRUD
REST	rest://	Generic JSON querying
File	file://	CSV, Parquet, JSON (via DuckDB)

SQL Syntax Support

WaveQL supports ANSI SQL with full compatibility for schema-qualified and quoted identifiers:

-- All of these are equivalent and fully supported:
SELECT * FROM incident
SELECT * FROM servicenow.incident
SELECT * FROM "servicenow"."incident"
SELECT * FROM servicenow."incident"

Supports: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, JOIN, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, LIMIT, OFFSET

Authentication

WaveQL takes the headache out of auth headers.

• Basic Auth: Simple username/password.
• API Key: Custom headers or query params.
• OAuth2: Full flow support including token refresh.

from waveql.auth import AuthManager

# OAuth2 Example
auth = AuthManager(
    oauth_token_url="https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token",
    oauth_client_id="your_client_id",
    oauth_client_secret="your_client_secret"
)
conn = waveql.connect("salesforce://login.salesforce.com", auth_manager=auth)
