Dibsy Python API Docs | dltHub

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

Last updated:

Dibsy's REST API uses HTTPS, requires Bearer token authentication, and returns JSON responses. Key endpoints include authentication and payment processing. The REST API base URL is https://api.dibsy.dev/ and All requests require a secret API key for authentication..

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 Dibsy data in under 10 minutes.


What data can I load from Dibsy?

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

ResourceEndpointMethodData selectorDescription
payments/v2/paymentsGETpaymentsList all payments
payment/v2/payments/{id}GETRetrieve a single payment by ID
card_tokens/v2/cardTokensGETcardTokensList customer card tokens
payment_links/v2/paymentLinksGETList payment links (response is top‑level array)
customers/v2/customersGETcustomersList customers

How do I authenticate with the Dibsy API?

Include the secret API key in the Authorization header as Bearer <api_key> (or as an X-API-Key header if specified).

1. Get your credentials

  1. Log in to the Dibsy developer dashboard at https://dibsy.dev.
  2. Go to the "API Keys" or "Integrations" section.
  3. Click "Create New API Key".
  4. Give the key a name and set required permissions.
  5. Save the key and copy the generated secret API key for use in dlt configuration.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

[sources.dibsy_source] 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 Dibsy 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 dibsy_pipeline.py

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

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

Inspect your pipeline and data:

dlt pipeline dibsy_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 payments and card_tokens from the Dibsy 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 dibsy_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.dibsy.dev/", "auth": { "type": "api_key", "api_key": api_key, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "payments", "endpoint": {"path": "v2/payments", "data_selector": "payments"}}, {"name": "card_tokens", "endpoint": {"path": "v2/cardTokens", "data_selector": "cardTokens"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="dibsy_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="dibsy_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(dibsy_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("dibsy_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.payments.df() print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

SELECT * FROM dibsy_data.payments LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("dibsy_pipeline").dataset() data.payments.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 Dibsy 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.
