Some analytics platforms (such as Power BI) offer native Delta Sharing connectors.
However, if you're using a reporting tool that doesn't support Delta Sharing directly (like Qlik, Tableau, DataStudio, etc.), we offer two simple solutions to access your data.
Option 1: Use our open-source project compatible with Qlik/Tableau
We provide a lightweight open-source tool that allows you to:
Read data from Delta Sharing (efficiently, using DuckDB)
Expose the data via a paginated REST API (compatible with Qlik/Tableau/etc.)
Export the data locally in CSV or Parquet format
Source code:
https://github.com/Datalex-io/deltasharing-tool/tree/main
Quick install (Docker):
git clone https://github.com/your-org/deltasharing-tool.git
cd deltasharing-tool
make up
API call example:
curl "http://localhost:8000/data?from_date=2024-01-01&limit=1000"
A sample Python client is included to simulate requests from Qlik or any REST-compatible platform.
Option 2: Export data using Python
If you use Python for your analysis, you can also export data directly from Delta Sharing in CSV or Parquet format.
We recommend the following article:
How to access your platform usage data with Python
This step-by-step guide explains how to:
- Enable access and create a token
- Create a Delta Sharing profile file
- Use the delta-sharing Python library
- Access the data, list available tables, and load them into DataFrames
This tutorial is designed to make it easy to connect to your data and use it across your Python notebooks and tools.
You can also use the open-source project mentioned above to automate exports.
