iPayout Python API Docs | dltHub

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

Last updated:

iPayout offers comprehensive API documentation for integrating payment solutions, including endpoints for creating beneficiaries and managing transfers. The API supports multiple currencies and countries, facilitating global payouts. Full API integration provides high customization for merchant interfaces. The REST API base URL is https://merchantapi.testewallet.com/api/v1 and All API calls require a Bearer token plus X-MerchantId header.

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 iPayout data in under 10 minutes.


What data can I load from iPayout?

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

ResourceEndpointMethodData selectorDescription
beneficiariesbeneficiariesGETdataList beneficiaries for merchant (response wraps data object)
beneficiarybeneficiaries/{beneficiary_token}GETdataRetrieve single beneficiary details (data object)
transfer_methods_bank_accountstransfermethods/beneficiaries/{beneficiary_token}/bank-accountsGETdataGet a specific bank account transfer method (data object)
transferstransfersGETList transfers or retrieve transfers — creation returns token at top-level; listing responses vary
transfertransfers/{transfer_token}GETRetrieve single transfer by token (response contains token and status fields)
create_beneficiarybeneficiariesPOSTdata.beneficiaryTokenCreate beneficiary (example response includes data with beneficiaryToken)
create_transfertransfersPOSTtokenCreate transfer (response returns token at top level)

How do I authenticate with the iPayout API?

i‑payout uses token‑based Bearer authentication; include Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN> and X-MerchantId: <YOUR_MERCHANT_ID> on requests; set Accept: application/json and appropriate Content-Type.

1. Get your credentials

  1. Sign in to the i‑payout Developer Portal (https://www.i-payout.com/developer-portal). 2) Under your account/merchant settings, go to API / Tokens or Get a Token. 3) Generate an API token for the desired environment (Sandbox or Production). 4) Note your MerchantId value from your merchant dashboard. 5) Store the API token securely — use it as the Bearer token and supply MerchantId in X-MerchantId header.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

[sources.ipayout_source] api_token = "your_api_token_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 iPayout 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 ipayout_pipeline.py

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

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

Inspect your pipeline and data:

dlt pipeline ipayout_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 beneficiaries and transfers from the iPayout 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 ipayout_source(api_token=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://merchantapi.testewallet.com/api/v1", "auth": { "type": "bearer", "token": api_token, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "beneficiaries", "endpoint": {"path": "beneficiaries", "data_selector": "data"}}, {"name": "transfers", "endpoint": {"path": "transfers"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="ipayout_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="ipayout_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(ipayout_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("ipayout_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.beneficiaries.df() print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

SELECT * FROM ipayout_data.beneficiaries LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("ipayout_pipeline").dataset() data.beneficiaries.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 iPayout 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.
