Getting Started

Setup and prerequisites for integrating with the Customer API.

What the Customer API does​

The Customer API (also called the Creditor API) lets you submit debt collection cases to Debitura's network of pre-legal collection agencies and track their progress. Typical uses:

  • Submit collection cases
  • Preview eligibility and pricing before submission
  • Track case status and timelines
  • Receive real-time payment and status events via webhooks
  • Manage contracts and creditor divisions

Building a platform? If you're building a SaaS product that wants to offer Debitura's services to your own customers, you need the Referral Partner API instead. Contact partnerships@debitura.com to discuss your use case.
