Efficient Debt Collection
Three API tracks on one platform. Pick yours.
One API for businesses automating their own receivables, one for software platforms that embed debt collection, and one for collection agencies and law firms working cases on Debitura.

Client API
Send overdue invoices to collection from your ERP, billing system or back office. Create cases, upload documents, read timelines and payments, and reconcile in your own system.
Collection Partner API
For collection agencies and law firms on Debitura. Read assigned cases, post updates, register payments and upload documents from your own case management system.

Referral Partner API
For software platforms. Create client accounts, submit cases on your users' behalf with short-lived tokens, show status in your product and track your revenue share.
Preview the fee before you submit
POST /cases/preview returns eligibility, the matched partner, the success fee and any contract still to sign. Nothing is saved until you create the case.

Webhooks instead of polling

- Create the case with POST /Cases. Required: CurrencyCode, Date, AmountToRecover and a Debtor with name, address and CountryAlpha2. Add your invoice number as CreditorReference.
- Upload the invoice with POST /Cases/{id}/files.
- Subscribe to webhooks so status changes and payments reach your system without polling.

Debt collection API: frequently asked questions
How do I authenticate?
Send your API key in the XApiKey header on every request. Platforms using the Referral Partner API get short-lived bearer tokens for their users.
Is there a sandbox?
Yes. Use testcustomer-api.debitura.com with a test key. Production is customer-api.debitura.com. You can also flag single cases as test cases.
Which webhook events are there?
case.created, case.updated, case.closed, payment.created, payment.deleted and chat.created.
What are the rate limits?
2,000 requests per minute, 20,000 per hour and 100,000 per day per API key.
Is there a fee to use the API?
No. There is no setup fee or subscription and you pay $0 upfront. You pay a success fee only when money is recovered: from 6% in Europe and 7.5% elsewhere, depending on claim size and the debtor's country. The fee is shown before you submit. See pricing.
Can an AI assistant use the API?
Yes. The Debitura MCP server wraps the Client API so Claude, Cursor or VS Code Copilot can read cases and submit new ones. No-code teams can use the Debitura Zapier integration.
One API covers every country we collect in: each case goes to a licensed local collection agency or law firm in the debtor's country, in 180 countries. See all Debitura integrations.
