+title: Custom Destination with LanceDB
+description: Learn how use the custom destination to load to LanceDB.
+keywords: [destination, credentials, example, lancedb, custom destination, vectorstore, AI, LLM]
+---
+
+This example showcases a Python script that demonstrates the integration of LanceDB, an open-source vector database,
+as a custom destination within the dlt ecosystem.
+The script illustrates the implementation of a custom destination as well as the population of the LanceDB vector
+store with data from various sources.
+This highlights the seamless interoperability between dlt and LanceDB.
+
+You can get a Spotify client ID and secret from https://developer.spotify.com/.
+
+We'll learn how to:
+- Use the [custom destination](../dlt-ecosystem/destinations/destination.md)
+- Delegate the embeddings to LanceDB using OpenAI Embeddings
