Magento 2 REST API Python API Docs | dltHub

Build a Magento 2 REST API-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI Workbench support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

Last updated:

Magento 2 REST API documentation is available at Mage-OS and Firebear Studio, covering request methods, endpoints, and authentication. Essential endpoints include /products/{productId} for product details and /orders/{orderId} for order details. The API supports CRUD operations for products, customers, and orders. The REST API base URL is https://<magento-host>/rest/<store_code>/V1 and all requests that require elevated access use a Bearer token (admin or customer).

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 Magento 2 REST API data in under 10 minutes.


What data can I load from Magento 2 REST API?

Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Magento 2 REST API:

ResourceEndpointMethodData selectorDescription
productsV1/productsGETitemsSearch or list products; response contains items array under 'items'
productV1/products/{sku}GETSingle product object (top-level JSON)
customersV1/customers/searchGETitemsCustomer search returns 'items' array
customerV1/customers/{id}GETSingle customer object
ordersV1/ordersGETitemsOrders search/list returns 'items' array
orderV1/orders/{id}GETSingle order object
categoriesV1/categories/{categoryId}GETSingle category/tree object
stock_itemsV1/stockItems/{sku}GETStock item object for SKU
invoicesV1/invoices/{id}GETSingle invoice object
guest_carts_itemsV1/guest-carts/{cartId}/itemsGETGuest cart items (no auth)

How do I authenticate with the Magento 2 REST API API?

Obtain an access token by POSTing credentials to /rest/<store_code>/V1/integration/admin/token (admin) or /integration/customer/token (customer). Include it in the Authorization header as: Authorization: Bearer . For public/guest endpoints no token is required.

1. Get your credentials

  1. Log in to Magento Admin. 2) For admin token, send POST to /rest/<store_code>/V1/integration/admin/token with JSON {"username":"<admin_user>","password":"<admin_pass>"} to receive a token string. 3) For customer token, POST to /rest/<store_code>/V1/integration/customer/token with {"username":"","password":""}. 4) Use the returned token in Authorization: Bearer header for subsequent requests.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

[sources.magento_2_rest_api_source] token = "your_admin_or_customer_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 Magento 2 REST API 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 magento_2_rest_api_pipeline.py

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

Pipeline magento_2_rest_api_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset magento_2_rest_api_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/magento_2_rest_api.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs

Inspect your pipeline and data:

dlt pipeline magento_2_rest_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 products and orders from the Magento 2 REST API 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 magento_2_rest_api_source(token=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://<magento-host>/rest/<store_code>/V1", "auth": { "type": "bearer", "token": token, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "products", "endpoint": {"path": "V1/products", "data_selector": "items"}}, {"name": "orders", "endpoint": {"path": "V1/orders", "data_selector": "items"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="magento_2_rest_api_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="magento_2_rest_api_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(magento_2_rest_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):

import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("magento_2_rest_api_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.products.df() print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

SELECT * FROM magento_2_rest_api_data.products LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("magento_2_rest_api_pipeline").dataset() data.products.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 Magento 2 REST API 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.
