Deliveroo Python API Docs | dltHub

Deliveroo's Menu API allows management of menus and items, requiring a brand_id. Use the Order API for managing orders. The API documentation is available for detailed reference. The REST API base URL is https://partners.deliveroo.com/api and OAuth2 Machine‑to‑Machine Bearer token (client_credentials) – Basic auth optional for some older endpoints.

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 Deliveroo data in under 10 minutes.

What data can I load from Deliveroo?

Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Deliveroo:

---

How do I authenticate with the Deliveroo API?

Obtain client_id/client_secret from the Developer Portal, POST them with grant_type=client_credentials to the OAuth token endpoint, receive an access_token, and include it as Authorization: Bearer <access_token> in all API calls.

1. Get your credentials

1. Register an application in the Deliveroo Developer Portal. 2) Note the provided client_id and client_secret. 3) Use the appropriate AUTH_HOST (sandbox: auth-sandbox.developers.deliveroo.com, production: auth.developers.deliveroo.com). 4) POST client_id, client_secret and grant_type=client_credentials to https://{AUTH_HOST}/oauth2/token. 5) Receive an access_token and use it in the Authorization header for API calls.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

Copy
[sources.deliveroo_menu_api_source]
client_id = "your_client_id"
client_secret = "your_client_secret"

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

1. Install the dlt AI Workbench:

Copy
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:

Copy
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 Deliveroo 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
python deliveroo_menu_api_pipeline.py

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

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

Inspect your pipeline and data:

Copy
dlt pipeline deliveroo_menu_api_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 menu and sites from the Deliveroo 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 deliveroo_menu_api_source(client_credentials=dlt.secrets.value):
    config: RESTAPIConfig = {
        "client": {
            "base_url": "https://partners.deliveroo.com/api",
            "auth": {
                "type": "bearer",
                "access_token": client_credentials,
            },
        },
        "resources": [
            {"name": "menu", "endpoint": {"path": "v1/brands/{brandId}/menus/{menuId}", "data_selector": "menu"}},
            {"name": "sites", "endpoint": {"path": "v1/brands/{brandId}/sites", "data_selector": "sites"}}
        ],
    }
    yield from rest_api_resources(config)


def get_data() -> None:
    pipeline = dlt.pipeline(
        pipeline_name="deliveroo_menu_api_pipeline",
        destination="duckdb",
        dataset_name="deliveroo_menu_api_data",
    )
    load_info = pipeline.run(deliveroo_menu_api_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("deliveroo_menu_api_pipeline").dataset()
sessions_df = data.menu.df()
print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

Copy
SELECT * FROM deliveroo_menu_api_data.menu LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

Copy
import dlt

data = dlt.pipeline("deliveroo_menu_api_pipeline").dataset()
data.menu.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 Deliveroo 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.
