Monetize Now Python API Docs | dltHub

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

Last updated:

Monetize Now offers a REST API for self-serve evergreen monetization. To use it, obtain an API key from the Getting Started guide. The API supports product and service sales across various channels. The REST API base URL is https://api.monetizeplatform.com and all requests require an API key presented as a Bearer token.

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 Monetize Now data in under 10 minutes.


What data can I load from Monetize Now?

Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Monetize Now:

ResourceEndpointMethodData selectorDescription
accounts/api/v2/accounts/{accountId}GETGet a single account by ID
accounts_list/api/accountsGETGet all accounts (supports pagination)
billgroups/api/accounts/{accountId}/billGroupsGETGet bill groups for an account
offerings/api/offeringsGETGet all offerings
products/api/productsGETGet all products
invoices/api/invoices/{invoiceId}GETGet invoice by ID
trials/api/trialsGETList trials
subscriptions_overview/api/v2/accounts/{accountId}/subscriptions/overviewGETGet account subscriptions overview
usage_events/usage/eventsGETGet usage events

How do I authenticate with the Monetize Now API?

MonetizeNow uses tenant‑generated API keys. Include them in the Authorization header as Bearer <API_KEY>.

1. Get your credentials

  1. In your MonetizeNow tenant UI go to Settings → API Keys.
  2. Click New Api Key.
  3. Enter a name and confirm.
  4. Copy and securely store the generated key (displayed only once).
  5. Use it as the Bearer token in requests.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

[sources.monetize_now_source] access_token = "your_monetizenow_api_key"

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 Monetize Now 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 monetize_now_pipeline.py

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

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

Inspect your pipeline and data:

dlt pipeline monetize_now_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 accounts and invoices from the Monetize Now 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 monetize_now_source(access_token=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.monetizeplatform.com", "auth": { "type": "bearer", "token": access_token, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "accounts", "endpoint": {"path": "api/v2/accounts/{accountId}"}}, {"name": "invoices", "endpoint": {"path": "api/invoices/{invoiceId}"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="monetize_now_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="monetize_now_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(monetize_now_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("monetize_now_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.accounts.df() print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

SELECT * FROM monetize_now_data.accounts LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("monetize_now_pipeline").dataset() data.accounts.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 Monetize Now 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.
