In this quickstart, we will walk through how to turn any dashboard (or set of queries) into a GitHub repository that uses our query management API.

​
Set up a new repo from the GitHub template

Use this GitHub template to create your own repository, then follow these steps:
  1. Generate an API key from your Dune account and put that in both your .env file and github action secrets (name it DUNE_API_KEY). You can create a key under your Dune team settings. The api key must be from a plus plan for this repo to work.
  2. Type your intended query ids into the queries.yml file. The id can be found from the link https://dune.com/queries/<query_id>/.... If you’re creating this for a dashboard, go to the dashboard you want to create a repo and click on the “github” button in the top right of your dashboard to see the query ids.
  3. Then, run pull_from_dune.py to bring in all queries into /query_{id}.sql files within the /queries folder. Directions to setup and run this python script are below.

​
Updating Queries or CSV Tables

  1. Make any changes you need to directly in the repo. Any time you push a commit to MAIN branch, push_to_dune.py will save your changes into Dune directly. You can run this manually too if you want.
  2. For CSVs, update the files in the /uploads folder. upload_to_dune.py will run on commit, or can be run manually. The table name in Dune will be dune.team_name.dataset_<filename>.
You can press the “github” button on your own dashboard to get a list of query ids, or you can just paste in any query ids yourself. The query id comes from the url, dune.com/queries/<query_id>/<visualization_id>.
Anytime you commit a change to the repo, it will now update your queries in the app too. You can run pull_from_dune.py anytime to update the repo with any changes from the app.
