Pretty much all parts are heavily changed or completely replaced, but some lines of code still exist and we like to acknowledge the many good ideas we got from the original project :)

The dlt-init-openapi generates code from an OpenAPI spec that you can use to extract data from a `rest_api` into any [`destination`](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/destinations/) (e.g. Postgres, BigQuery, Redshift...) `dlt` supports.

Let's create an example pipeline from the[PokeAPI spec](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cliffano/pokeapi-clients/ec9a2707ef2a85f41b747d8df013e272ef650ec5/specification/pokeapi.yml). You can point to any other OpenAPI Spec instead if you like.

# 8. You can go to our docs at https://dlthub.com/docs to learn how modify the generated pipeline to load to many destinations, place schema contracts on your pipeline and many other things.

# NOTE: we used the `--global-limit 2` cli flag to limit the requests to the pokekom API forthis example. This way the Pokemon collection endpoint only get's queried twice, resultingin 2 x 20 Pokemon details being rendered

When you run the `init` command above, the following files will be generated:
75
61
76
-
*`./pokemon-pipeline` - a folder containing the full project.
77
-
*`./pokemon-pipeline/pipeline.py` - a file which you can execute to run your pipeline.
78
-
*`./pokemon-pipeline/pokemon/__init__.py` - a file that contains the generated code to connect to the PokeApi, you can inspect this file and manually change it to your liking or to fix incorrectly generated results.
79
-
*`./pokemon-pipeline/.dlt` - a folder with the `config.toml`. You can add your `secrets.toml` with credentials here.
80
-
*`./pokemon-pipeline/rest_api` - a folder that contains the rest_api source from our verified sources.

> If you re-generate your pipeline, you will be prompted to continue if this folder exists. If you select yes, all generated files will be overwritten. All other files you may have created will remain in this folder.
We track your usage of this tool similar to how we track other commands in the dlt core library. Read more about this and how to disable it here: https://dlthub.com/docs/reference/telemetry.

## Implementation notes

144
* OAuth Authentication currently is not natively supported, you can supply your own
146
145
* Per endpoint authentication currently is not supported by the generator, only the first globally set securityScheme will be applied. You can add your own per endpoint if you need to.
