The package wraps that API in a straightforward Python interface, handling connection pooling via session context managers and supporting both synchronous and asynchronous workflows. All query results come back as pyarrow tables, which you can then convert to other formats if needed.\n\nThe library is designed for developers who want to pull metric data into Python applications without writing raw HTTP calls. It includes features like lazy loading to avoid fetching nested object lists for large projects, optional telemetry that can be disabled, and a consistent API between sync and async variants. The package requires Python 3.9 or later and depends on pyarrow, mashumaro, adbc-driver-flightsql, adbc-driver-manager, and typing-extensions.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and fills a clear need for Python developers working with dbt's Semantic Layer. The sync/async flexibility and pyarrow integration are well-suited to modern data workflows. The only caveat is that license treatment is unclear, so verify licensing implications for your use case before committing to production."},"id":"dbt-sl-sdk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbt-sl-sdk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbt-sl-sdk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dbt-sl-sdk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"dbt-sl-sdk","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A client for dbt's Semantic Layer"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":116274,"position":12213,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.13.4"}
