Moneyhash Python API Docs | dltHub

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

Last updated:

An idempotent API request can be made multiple times without changing the outcome beyond the first execution. MoneyHash's Direct API allows full control over customer payment experiences. For non-PCI compliant integrations, use the External API. The REST API base URL is https://web.moneyhash.io/api/v1.4 and All requests require an X‑Api‑Key header with a MoneyHash server‑side API key..

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 Moneyhash data in under 10 minutes.


What data can I load from Moneyhash?

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

ResourceEndpointMethodData selectorDescription
create_intent_external/api/v1.4/external/payments/intent/POSTdataCreate a payment intent via the External API.
create_intent_direct/api/v1.4/direct/payments/intent/POSTdataCreate a payment intent via the Direct API.
update_intent_method/api/v1.4/external/payments/intents/{intent_id}/update-method/POSTdata.state_details.embed_urlUpdate the selected payment method for an existing intent.
list_intents_external/api/v1.4/external/payments/intents/GETdataRetrieve a paginated list of external payment intents.
list_intents_direct/api/v1.4/direct/payments/intents/GETdataRetrieve a paginated list of direct payment intents.

How do I authenticate with the Moneyhash API?

Include the header X-Api-Key: <YOUR_API_KEY> in every request; the value is the server‑side API key generated in the MoneyHash dashboard.

1. Get your credentials

  1. Log in to the MoneyHash dashboard at https://dashboard.moneyhash.io.
  2. Navigate to SettingsAPI Keys (or a similarly named section).
  3. Click Create New API Key and give it a descriptive name.
  4. Save the key; copy the generated value.
  5. Store the key securely and use it as the X-Api-Key header in API requests.

2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml

[sources.moneyhash_source] api_key = "your_moneyhash_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 Moneyhash 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 moneyhash_pipeline.py

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

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

Inspect your pipeline and data:

dlt pipeline moneyhash_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 create_intent_external and create_intent_direct from the Moneyhash 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 moneyhash_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://web.moneyhash.io/api/v1.4", "auth": { "type": "api_key", "api_key": api_key, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "create_intent_external", "endpoint": {"path": "api/v1.4/external/payments/intent/", "data_selector": "data"}}, {"name": "create_intent_direct", "endpoint": {"path": "api/v1.4/direct/payments/intent/", "data_selector": "data"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="moneyhash_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="moneyhash_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(moneyhash_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("moneyhash_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.create_intent_external.df() print(sessions_df.head())

SQL (DuckDB example):

SELECT * FROM moneyhash_data.create_intent_external LIMIT 10;

In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:

import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("moneyhash_pipeline").dataset() data.create_intent_external.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 Moneyhash 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.
