Bonify Customer Account Fields Python API Docs | dltHub

Bonify Customer Account Fields is a Shopify app that provides a REST API to manage customer data, update profiles, and create new accounts through custom registration fields. 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 add "dlt[hub]" 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:

---

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

The API requires two custom HTTP headers for all requests: x-shop-domain (your Shopify domain) and x-api-key (your API key). These credentials are provided on the API Key page within the Bonify Customer Account Fields application.

1. Get your credentials

1. Log in to your Shopify Admin dashboard. 2. Navigate to the Apps section and open the 'Customer Account Fields' application. 3. Look for the 'API Key' tab or section within the app interface. If you do not see this tab, you may need to upgrade to the app's Plus plan to enable API access. 4. Copy the provided API key from this page. Note that the authentication requires two specific headers: 'x-shop-domain' (your store's myshopify.com domain) and 'x-api-key' (the key retrieved here).

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

Copy
[sources.bonify_customer_account_fields_source]
x_shop_domain = "your-shop.myshopify.com"
x_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:

Copy
uv init
uv add "dlt[hub]"

1. Install the dlt AI harness:

Copy
uv run dlthub 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:

Copy
uv run dlthub ai toolkit install rest-api-pipeline

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:

Copy
uv run python bonify_customer_account_fields_pipeline.py

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

Copy
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:

Copy
uv run dlthub 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:

Copy
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, "name": "x-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):

Copy
import dlt

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

SQL (DuckDB example):

Copy
SELECT * FROM bonify_customer_account_fields_data.customers LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

Copy
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:

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