Hands-on Lab: Build API Ingestion Pipelines with AI Agents

December 17, 2025

About this Hands-on Lab

December 17, 2025 | 10am PT / 1pm ET

In this hands-on lab, you'll learn how to use AI agents to create custom API ingestion pipelines without writing boilerplate code from scratch. We'll walk through real-world examples where you'll:

  • Use AI agents to generate Python code that handles API ingestion
  • Transform that data with SQL and python
  • Deploy end to end API data pipelines with DataOps best practices

By the end of this lab, you'll have production-ready code and the skills to build custom API connectors for any data source.

Who This Is For

This lab is designed for:

  • Data engineers who are tired of writing repetitive API connector code
  • Analytics engineers who need to pull data from SaaS tools and APIs
  • Developers curious about using AI to accelerate their data engineering workflow

Basic Python familiarity is helpful but not required—the AI agents will handle the heavy lifting.
