# Get Recipients API Reference

`GET https://staging.eko.in/ekoapi/v3/customer/payment/dmt-levin/sender/{customer_id}/recipients`

Retrieve the list of saved beneficiaries for a DMT-Levin sender.

> [!WARNING]
> The UAT / Sandbox environment is not available for this API — requests to `https://staging.eko.in/ekoapi/v3` return an error response. Test it in Production.

Returns all recipients (beneficiaries) registered under the sender's DMT-Levin account, including each recipient's name, IFSC, beneficiary ID and recipient ID. Use this before initiating a transfer — if the desired recipient already exists you can use their recipient_id directly, skipping Add Recipient.
