LoanPro Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a LoanPro-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI harness support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
LoanPro's Loan Management System (LMS) API is a RESTful service for managing lending accounts and tracking data. The REST API base URL is https://loanpro.simnang.com/api/public/api/1/ and all requests require Bearer token authorization and a tenant ID 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 add "dlt[hub]" and start loading LoanPro data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from LoanPro?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from LoanPro:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| loans | odata.svc/Loans | GET | d.results | Retrieve loan records. |
| customers | odata.svc/Customers | GET | d.results | Retrieve customer records. |
| payments | odata.svc/Payments | GET | d.results | Retrieve payment records. |
| loan_documents | odata.svc/LoanDocuments | GET | d.results | Retrieve all loan documents. |
| customer_documents | odata.svc/CustomerDocuments | GET | d.results | Retrieve all customer documents. |
How do I authenticate with the LoanPro API?
Requests require an 'Authorization' header with the value 'Bearer {token}' and an 'Autopal-Instance-Id' header containing your tenant ID. 'Content-Type: application/json' is also required.
1. Get your credentials
To obtain your LoanPro API credentials, log in to your LoanPro account and navigate to Settings > Company > API > Overview. Ensure API access is enabled for your company. From the API Overview page, you can generate a new API token. When creating the token, it will be associated with an agent user; ensure the selected user has the appropriate role permissions. Once generated, save both the token and your tenant ID (Instance ID), as these are required for authentication.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.loanpro_source] api_key = "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE" tenant_id = "YOUR_TENANT_ID_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 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 LoanPro 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 loanpro_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline loanpro_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset loanpro_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/loanpro.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 loans and customers from the LoanPro 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 loanpro_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://loanpro.simnang.com/api/public/api/1/", "auth": {"type": "bearer", "token": api_key}, }, "resources": [ {"name": "loans", "endpoint": {"path": "odata.svc/Loans", "data_selector": "d.results"}}, {"name": "customers", "endpoint": {"path": "odata.svc/Customers", "data_selector": "d.results"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="loanpro_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="loanpro_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(loanpro_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("loanpro_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.loans.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM loanpro_data.loans LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("loanpro_pipeline").dataset() data.loans.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 LoanPro 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.
