Yes.pl Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a Yes.pl-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI Workbench support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
Yes.pl is a REST API for the YES loyalty/club platform exposing customer, card, order and product endpoints. The REST API base URL is https://app.club.yes.pl/api and All requests require tokens: newer endpoints use Bearer Authorization; older v1/v2 endpoints accept an access_token path parameter..
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 Yes.pl data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from Yes.pl?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Yes.pl:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| people | people | GET | Get people by email or phone (v3) – returns a top‑level array of person objects | |
| person | people/{uuid} | GET | Retrieve a single person by UUID | |
| person_cards | people/{uuid}/cards | GET | List cards belonging to a person | |
| customers_by_date | v1/{access_token}/people_by | GET | customers | Get customers filtered by date / subscribe flag (legacy v1) |
| check_card | v1/{access_token}/check_card/{card_number} | GET | card | Validate a card number and retrieve its status |
How do I authenticate with the Yes.pl API?
The API supports Bearer token authentication via the Authorization header (Authorization: Bearer ). Legacy endpoints accept an access_token path parameter (e.g. /v1/{access_token}/...).
1. Get your credentials
- Log in to your YES (yes.pl) admin/partner dashboard. 2) Locate the API or Integrations / API Tokens section (or contact support@cloudsailor.com if not visible). 3) Create a new token or copy an existing one. 4) Use the token as a Bearer token for v3 endpoints; for legacy endpoints include it as the {access_token} path parameter.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.yes_pl_source] access_token = "your_access_token_here" auth_token = "your_bearer_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 Yes.pl 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 yes_pl_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline yes_pl_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset yes_pl_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/yes_pl.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs
Inspect your pipeline and data:
dlt pipeline yes_pl_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 people and customers_by_date from the Yes.pl 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 yes_pl_source(access_token=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://app.club.yes.pl/api", "auth": { "type": "bearer", "token": access_token, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "people", "endpoint": {"path": "people"}}, {"name": "customers_by_date", "endpoint": {"path": "v1/{access_token}/people_by", "data_selector": "customers"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="yes_pl_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="yes_pl_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(yes_pl_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("yes_pl_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.people.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM yes_pl_data.people LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("yes_pl_pipeline").dataset() data.people.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 Yes.pl 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.
Troubleshooting
Authentication failures
If you receive 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden, verify that the Authorization header is set to "Bearer " for v3 endpoints and that the {access_token} path parameter is correct for legacy endpoints. Expired or missing tokens will trigger these responses.
Rate limits and throttling
The public documentation does not specify strict rate limits. If a 429 Too Many Requests response is returned, implement exponential back‑off and respect any Retry‑After header.
Pagination and large result sets
v3 endpoints typically return a top‑level array. Legacy endpoints wrap results in a "customers" (or similar) array; use that key as the data selector and apply query parameters (date, email, etc.) to page through large datasets.
Ensure that the API key is valid to avoid 401 Unauthorized errors. Also, verify endpoint paths and parameters to avoid 404 Not Found errors.
