Blueprints

Extract data from a REST API, process it in Python with Polars in a Docker container, then run DuckDB query and preview results as a table in the Outputs tab

About this blueprint

Python SQL Outputs API DuckDB

This flow will download a file from a REST API, process it with Python and SQL, and store the result in the internal storage.

  • the api http Request task uses a public API — to interact with a private API endpoint, check the task documentation for examples on how to authenticate your request
  • the python task runs in a separate Docker container and installs polars before starting the script
  • the DuckDB query task uses data from a previous task and outputs the query result to internal storage. The Outputs tab provides a well-formatted table with the query results.
