Zenoti Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a Zenoti-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI harness support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
Zenoti is a cloud-based salon, spa, and medspa management platform that exposes a REST API to access data regarding organizations, centers, employees, customers, appointments, and services. The REST API base URL is https://api.zenoti.com and All requests require either an API key or a Bearer access token provided in the Authorization 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 Zenoti data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from Zenoti?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Zenoti:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| centers | /v1/centers | GET | centers | List all centers |
| products | /v1/centers/{center_id}/products | GET | products | List all products of a center |
| memberships | /v1/centers/{center_id}/memberships | GET | memberships | List all memberships in a center |
| appointments | /v1/guests/{guest_id}/appointments | GET | appointments | List all appointments of a guest |
| employee_schedules | /v1/employees/schedules | GET | schedules | List employee schedules |
How do I authenticate with the Zenoti API?
Zenoti requires an 'Authorization' header in all requests. It supports two modes: API key authentication using 'apikey {api_key}' or token-based authentication using 'bearer {access_token}'.
1. Get your credentials
To obtain API credentials in Zenoti, follow these steps at the organization level: 1. Navigate to 'Configurations' > 'Integrations' > 'Apps'. 2. Click 'Add' on the 'Manage Applications' page to create a new app. 3. Configure the scope by selecting the required data permissions under the appropriate API groups. 4. Choose your authentication method (e.g., API keys). 5. Upon creation, Zenoti will generate an 'Application ID' and 'Secrets' (secret key). 6. Copy and save these immediately, as they are required to generate the final API key. 7. Click 'Generate API Key' to receive your API key, which must also be saved before navigating away from the page.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.zenoti_source] zenoti_api_key = "your_generated_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 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 Zenoti 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 zenoti_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline zenoti_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset zenoti_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/zenoti.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 appointments and guests from the Zenoti 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 zenoti_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.zenoti.com", "auth": {"type": "bearer", "token": api_key}, }, "resources": [ {"name": "centers", "endpoint": {"path": "v1/centers", "data_selector": "centers"}}, {"name": "products", "endpoint": {"path": "v1/centers/{center_id}/products", "data_selector": "products"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="zenoti_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="zenoti_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(zenoti_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("zenoti_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.centers.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM zenoti_data.centers LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("zenoti_pipeline").dataset() data.centers.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 Zenoti 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.
