Daraz Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a Daraz-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI harness support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
Daraz Open Platform API provides endpoints for Daraz sellers to manage store products, orders, and inventory across various international markets. The REST API base URL is https://api.daraz.pk/rest, https://api.daraz.com.bd/rest, https://api.daraz.lk/rest, https://api.shop.com.mm/rest, https://api.daraz.com.np/rest and all requests require HMAC-SHA256 signed parameters including an OAuth access token.
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 Daraz data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from Daraz?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Daraz:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| orders | order/get | GET | orders | Paginated order list (use limit + offset; also supports created_after/status filters). |
| products | product/list | GET | products | Paginated product listing (pagination via limit/offset pattern, if supported for that resource). |
| order_items | order/getorderitems | GET | order_items | Fetch order line items for a given order_id (often used after paging orders). |
| order | order/get | GET | order | Fetch a single order by order_id (non-paginated). |
| shipments | order/shipment/get | GET | shipments | Retrieve shipment/dispatch info (pagination if supported by this endpoint). |
| documents | order/getdocument | GET | documents | Retrieve document info for an order (may be non-paginated). |
How do I authenticate with the Daraz API?
Authentication requires HMAC-SHA256 signing of sorted request parameters (including the access token and application credentials) using the App Secret. The resulting signature is passed as a query parameter ('sign'), while the access token is passed as the 'access_token' query parameter.
1. Get your credentials
- Visit the Daraz Open Platform (open.daraz.com) and click 'Create Account' to register as a developer. 2. Once registered, complete your profile information and upload any required business documentation under 'User ID -> Profile'. 3. Apply for the specific API category required for your application, providing business justification and design documentation. 4. After approval, register your application via the 'App Console' to receive your 'App Key' and 'App Secret'. 5. Use these credentials to complete the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow to obtain your 'Access Token' and 'Refresh Token'.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.daraz_source] app_key = "your_app_key_here" app_secret = "your_app_secret_here" access_token = "your_access_token_here" refresh_token = "your_refresh_token_here" country = "PK" # Options: PK, BD, LK, MM, or NP
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 init uv add "dlt[hub]"
1. Install the dlt AI harness:
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:
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 Daraz 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:
uv run python daraz_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline daraz_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset daraz_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/daraz.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs
Inspect your pipeline and data:
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 /rest (base endpoint) and /auth/token/create (token management) from the Daraz 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 daraz_source(access_token=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.daraz.pk/rest, https://api.daraz.com.bd/rest, https://api.daraz.lk/rest, https://api.shop.com.mm/rest, https://api.daraz.com.np/rest", "auth": {"type": "bearer", "token": access_token}, }, "resources": [ {"name": "orders", "endpoint": {"path": "rest/order/get", "data_selector": "orders"}}, {"name": "order_items", "endpoint": {"path": "rest/order/getOrderItems"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="daraz_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="daraz_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(daraz_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("daraz_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.orders.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM daraz_data.orders LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("daraz_pipeline").dataset() data.orders.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 Daraz data to?
dlt supports loading into any of these destinations — only the destination parameter changes:
| Destination | Example 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.
