Bonify Customer Account Fields Python API Docs | dltHub

Build a Bonify Customer Account Fields-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI Workbench support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

Last updated:

Bonify's REST API V2 allows JSON-based requests to manage customer data, update profiles, and create new accounts. It supports dynamic customer registration forms and advanced customer profiles. The API includes features for filtering and exporting customer segments. The REST API base URL is https://apps.bonify.io/apps/cf_app/public-api/customer_fields/v2 and all requests require two custom headers (x-shop-domain and x-api-key).

dlt is an open-source Python library that handles authentication, pagination, and schema evolution automatically. dlthub provides AI context files that enable code assistants to generate production-ready pipelines. Install with uv pip install "dlt[workspace]" and start loading Bonify Customer Account Fields data in under 10 minutes.


What data can I load from Bonify Customer Account Fields?

Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Bonify Customer Account Fields:

ResourceEndpointMethodData selectorDescription
customerscustomersGETcustomersRetrieve paginated list of customers with their customer_fields array; max 50 per page; uses next_page cursor
customercustomers/{customer_id}GETcustomersRetrieve a single customer (response matches /customers)
fieldsfieldsGETfieldsReturns list of custom field definitions
customers_putcustomersPUTUpdate up to 10 customers at once; request body requires a customers array; response contains only status
customers_postcustomersPOSTCreate customers by posting a customers array; response contains only status
customers_deletecustomers/{customer_id}DELETEDelete a single customer by ID

How do I authenticate with the Bonify Customer Account Fields API?

Authentication requires two HTTP headers provided on the API Key page: x-shop-domain: your-shop.myshopify.com and x-api-key: your_api_key. Include both headers on every request.

1. Get your credentials

  1. Log in to your Bonify account and open the Customer Account Fields app. 2) Open the API Key page (API Key Guide). 3) Copy the provided shop domain and API key values shown on that page. 4) Use the shop domain as x-shop-domain and the API key as x-api-key in requests.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

[sources.bonify_customer_account_fields_source] x_shop_domain = "your-shop.myshopify.com" api_key = "your_api_key_here"

dlt reads this automatically at runtime — never hardcode tokens in your pipeline script. For production environments, see setting up credentials with dlt for environment variable and vault-based options.


How do I set up and run the pipeline?

Set up a virtual environment and install dlt:

uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate uv pip install "dlt[workspace]"

1. Install the dlt AI Workbench:

dlt ai init --agent <your-agent> # <agent>: claude | cursor | codex

This installs project rules, a secrets management skill, appropriate ignore files, and configures the dlt MCP server for your agent. Learn more →

2. Install the rest-api-pipeline toolkit:

dlt ai toolkit rest-api-pipeline install

This loads the skills and context about dlt the agent uses to build the pipeline iteratively, efficiently, and safely. The agent uses MCP tools to inspect credentials — it never needs to read your secrets.toml directly. Learn more →

3. Start LLM-assisted coding:

Use /find-source to load data from the Bonify Customer Account Fields API into DuckDB.

The rest-api-pipeline toolkit takes over from here — it reads relevant API documentation, presents you with options for which endpoints to load, and follows a structured workflow to scaffold, debug, and validate the pipeline step by step.

4. Run the pipeline:

python bonify_customer_account_fields_pipeline.py

If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:

Pipeline bonify_customer_account_fields_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset bonify_customer_account_fields_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/bonify_customer_account_fields.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs

Inspect your pipeline and data:

dlt pipeline bonify_customer_account_fields_pipeline show

This opens the Pipeline Dashboard where you can verify pipeline state, load metrics, schema (tables, columns, types), and query the loaded data directly.


Python pipeline example

This example loads customers and fields from the Bonify Customer Account Fields API into DuckDB. It mirrors the endpoint and data selector configuration from the table above:

import dlt from dlt.sources.rest_api import RESTAPIConfig, rest_api_resources @dlt.source def bonify_customer_account_fields_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://apps.bonify.io/apps/cf_app/public-api/customer_fields/v2", "auth": { "type": "api_key", "api_key": api_key, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "customers", "endpoint": {"path": "customers", "data_selector": "customers"}}, {"name": "fields", "endpoint": {"path": "fields", "data_selector": "fields"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="bonify_customer_account_fields_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="bonify_customer_account_fields_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(bonify_customer_account_fields_source()) print(load_info)

To add more endpoints, append entries from the resource table to the "resources" list using the same name, path, and data_selector pattern.


How do I query the loaded data?

Once the pipeline runs, dlt creates one table per resource. You can query with Python or SQL.

Python (pandas DataFrame):

import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("bonify_customer_account_fields_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.customers.df() print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

SELECT * FROM bonify_customer_account_fields_data.customers LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("bonify_customer_account_fields_pipeline").dataset() data.customers.df().head()

See how to explore your data in marimo Notebooks and how to query your data in Python with dataset.


What destinations can I load Bonify Customer Account Fields data to?

dlt supports loading into any of these destinations — only the destination parameter changes:

DestinationExample value
DuckDB (local, default)"duckdb"
PostgreSQL"postgres"
BigQuery"bigquery"
Snowflake"snowflake"
Redshift"redshift"
Databricks"databricks"
Filesystem (S3, GCS, Azure)"filesystem"

Change the destination in dlt.pipeline(destination="snowflake") and add credentials in .dlt/secrets.toml. See the full destinations list.
