EnviaYa Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a EnviaYa-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI Workbench support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
The EnviaYa API documentation is available at https://enviaya.com.mx/docs/api. The API allows for shipment creation, tracking, and address validation. Use the provided credentials for authentication. The REST API base URL is https://enviaya.com.mx/api/v1 and all requests require an API key (HTTP Basic username or Bearer token) — api_key may also be passed as query param.
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 EnviaYa data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from EnviaYa?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from EnviaYa:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| shipments_lookup | /shipments/{enviaya_id}?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY | GET | shipment | Lookup single shipment by Enviaya ID (response contains top-level "shipment" object) |
| directions | /directions?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&page=1&per_page=500 | GET | directions | List saved addresses/directions for the account (response key: "directions") |
| carriers | /get_carriers?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY | GET | carriers | List available carriers (response key: "carriers") |
| countries | /get_countries?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY | GET | countries | Country reference list (response key: "countries") |
| pickup_statuses | /get_pickup_statuses?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY | GET | pickup_statuses | Pickup status catalogue (response key: "pickup_statuses") |
| shipment_statuses | /get_shipment_statuses?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY | GET | shipment_statuses | Shipment status catalogue (response key: "shipment_statuses") |
| get_accounts | /get_accounts?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY | GET | enviaya_accounts | List billing/accounts accessible to user (response key: "enviaya_accounts") |
| get_states | /get_states?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&country_code={code} | GET | states | States list for country (response key: "states") |
| get_users | /get_users?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY | GET | users | List of user accounts (response key: "users") |
How do I authenticate with the EnviaYa API?
Authentication accepts your personal API key. The API supports HTTP Basic Auth (use the API key as the username) and also accepts Bearer tokens via the Authorization header (e.g., Authorization: Bearer sk_test_YOUR_API_KEY). The API also accepts the api_key query parameter.
1. Get your credentials
- Sign in to your Enviaya account at https://enviaya.com.mx/ (or create an account).
- Navigate to your user profile or account settings page.
- Locate the API key listed in your profile and copy it. Use this key as the HTTP Basic username, as a Bearer token, or as the api_key query parameter.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.envia_ya_source] api_key = "your_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 EnviaYa 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 envia_ya_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline envia_ya_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset envia_ya_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/envia_ya.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs
Inspect your pipeline and data:
dlt pipeline envia_ya_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 shipments_lookup and directions from the EnviaYa 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 envia_ya_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://enviaya.com.mx/api/v1", "auth": { "type": "api_key", "api_key": api_key, }, }, "resources": [ {"name": "shipments_lookup", "endpoint": {"path": "shipments/{enviaya_id}?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY", "data_selector": "shipment"}}, {"name": "directions", "endpoint": {"path": "directions?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&page=1&per_page=500", "data_selector": "directions"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="envia_ya_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="envia_ya_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(envia_ya_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("envia_ya_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.shipments_lookup.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM envia_ya_data.shipments_lookup LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("envia_ya_pipeline").dataset() data.shipments_lookup.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 EnviaYa 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.
