## What is Pointblank?
Pointblank is a powerful, yet elegant data validation framework for Python that transforms how you ensure data quality. With its intuitive, chainable API, you can quickly validate your data against comprehensive quality checks and visualize results through stunning, interactive reports that make data issues immediately actionable.
Whether you're a data scientist, data engineer, or analyst, Pointblank helps you catch data quality issues before they impact your analyses or downstream systems.
## Getting Started in 30 Seconds
```python
import pointblank as pb
validation = (
pb.Validate(data=pb.load_dataset(dataset="small_table"))
.col_vals_gt(columns="d", value=100) # Validate values > 100
.col_vals_le(columns="c", value=5) # Validate values <= 5
.col_exists(columns=["date", "date_time"]) # Check columns exist
.interrogate() # Execute and collect results
)
# Get the validation report from the REPL with:
validation.get_tabular_report().show()
# From a notebook simply use:
validation
```
<div align="center">
<img src="https://posit-dev.github.io/pointblank/assets/pointblank-tabular-report.png" width="800px">
</div>
<br>
## Why Choose Pointblank?
- **Works with your existing stack**: Seamlessly integrates with Polars, Pandas, DuckDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Parquet, PySpark, Snowflake, and more!
- **Beautiful, interactive reports**: Crystal-clear validation results that highlight issues and help communicate data quality
- **Composable validation pipeline**: Chain validation steps into a complete data quality workflow
- **Threshold-based alerts**: Set 'warning', 'error', and 'critical' thresholds with custom actions
- **Practical outputs**: Use validation results to filter tables, extract problematic data, or trigger downstream processes
## Real-World Example
```python
import pointblank as pb
import polars as pl
# Load your data
sales_data = pl.read_csv("sales_data.csv")
# Create a comprehensive validation
validation = (
pb.Validate(
data=sales_data,
tbl_name="sales_data", # Name of the table for reporting
label="Real-world example.", # Label for the validation, appears in reports
thresholds=(0.01, 0.02, 0.05), # Set thresholds for warnings, errors, and critical issues
actions=pb.Actions( # Define actions for any threshold exceedance
critical="Major data quality issue found in step {step} ({time})."
),
final_actions=pb.FinalActions( # Define final actions for the entire validation
pb.send_slack_notification(
webhook_url="https://hooks.slack.com/services/your/webhook/url"
)
),
brief=True, # Add automatically-generated briefs for each step
)
.col_vals_between( # Check numeric ranges with precision
columns=["price", "quantity"],
left=0, right=1000
)
.col_vals_not_null( # Ensure that columns ending with '_id' don't have null values
columns=pb.ends_with("_id")
)
.col_vals_regex( # Validate patterns with regex
columns="email",
pattern="^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$"
)
.col_vals_in_set( # Check categorical values
columns="status",
set=["pending", "shipped", "delivered", "returned"]
)
.conjointly( # Combine multiple conditions
lambda df: pb.expr_col("revenue") == pb.expr_col("price") * pb.expr_col("quantity"),
lambda df: pb.expr_col("tax") >= pb.expr_col("revenue") * 0.05
)
.interrogate()
)
```
```
Major data quality issue found in step 7 (2025-04-16 15:03:04.685612+00:00).
```
```python
# Get an HTML report you can share with your team
validation.get_tabular_report().show("browser")
```

## Command Line Interface (CLI)
Pointblank includes a powerful CLI utility called `pb` that lets you run data validation workflows directly from the command line. Perfect for CI/CD pipelines, scheduled data quality checks, or quick validation tasks.
<div align="center">
<img src="https://posit-dev.github.io/pointblank/assets/vhs/cli-complete-workflow.gif" width="100%">
</div>
**Explore Your Data**
```bash
# Get a quick preview of your data
pb preview small_table
# Preview data from GitHub URLs
pb preview "https://github.com/user/repo/blob/main/data.csv"
# Check for missing values in Parquet files
pb missing data.parquet
# Generate column summaries from database connections
pb scan "duckdb:///data/sales.ddb::customers"
```
**Run Essential Validations**
```bash
# Check for duplicate rows
pb validate small_table --check rows-distinct
# Validate data directly from GitHub
pb validate "https://github.com/user/repo/blob/main/sales.csv" --check col-vals-not-null --column customer_id
# Verify no null values in Parquet datasets
pb validate "data/*.parquet" --check col-vals-not-null --column a
# Extract failing data for debugging
pb validate small_table --check col-vals-gt --column a --value 5 --show-extract
```
**Integrate with CI/CD**
```bash
# Use exit codes for automation (0 = pass, 1 = fail)
pb validate small_table --check rows-distinct --exit-code
```

## Installation
You can install Pointblank using pip:
```bash
pip install pointblank
```
You can also install Pointblank from Conda-Forge by using:
```bash
conda install conda-forge::pointblank
```
If you don't have Polars or Pandas installed, you'll need to install one of them to use Pointblank.
```bash
pip install "pointblank[pl]" # Install Pointblank with Polars
pip install "pointblank[pd]" # Install Pointblank with Pandas
```
To use Pointblank with DuckDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite, install Ibis with the appropriate backend:
```bash
pip install "pointblank[duckdb]" # Install Pointblank with Ibis + DuckDB
pip install "pointblank[mysql]" # Install Pointblank with Ibis + MySQL
pip install "pointblank[postgres]" # Install Pointblank with Ibis + PostgreSQL
pip install "pointblank[sqlite]" # Install Pointblank with Ibis + SQLite
```
## Technical Details
Pointblank uses [Narwhals](https://github.com/narwhals-dev/narwhals) to work with Polars and Pandas DataFrames, and integrates with [Ibis](https://github.com/ibis-project/ibis) for database and file format support. This architecture provides a consistent API for validating tabular data from various sources.
## Contributing to Pointblank
There are many ways to contribute to the ongoing development of Pointblank. Some contributions can be simple (like fixing typos, improving documentation, filing issues for feature requests or problems, etc.) and others might take more time and care (like answering questions and submitting PRs with code changes). Just know that anything you can do to help would be very much appreciated!
Please read over the [contributing guidelines](https://github.com/posit-dev/pointblank/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) for
information on how to get started.
## Pointblank for R
There's also a version of Pointblank for R, which has been around since 2017 and is widely used in the R community. You can find it at https://github.com/rstudio/pointblank.
## Roadmap
We're actively working on enhancing Pointblank with:
1. Additional validation methods for comprehensive data quality checks
2. Advanced logging capabilities
3. Messaging actions (Slack, email) for threshold exceedances
4. LLM-powered validation suggestions and data dictionary generation
5. JSON/YAML configuration for pipeline portability
6. CLI utility for validation from the command line
7. Expanded backend support and certification
8. High-quality documentation and examples
If you have any ideas for features or improvements, don't hesitate to share them with us! We are always looking for ways to make Pointblank better.
