Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts form-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs. ### Authentication `Authorization : API Key` Header `x-carbon-key : value` `x-carbon-key` can be generated via developer page on Carbon Business | Environment | URL | | --- | --- | | Live | | | Sandbox | [https://carbonapistagingsecure.getcarbon.co/baas/api](https://carbonapistagingsecure.getcarbon.co/baas/api) | ### **Handling Errors** We use the conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. Codes in the 2xx range indicate success. Codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted, etc.). Codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with our servers. | Error | Description | | --- | --- | | 400 - Bad Request | The request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter. | | 401 - Unauthorized | Not a valid API key was provided. | | 402 - Request Failed | The parameters were valid but the request failed. | | 403 - Forbidden | The API key doesn't have permission to perform the request. | | 404 - Not Found | The requested resource doesn't exist. | | 429 - Too Many Requests | Too many requests hit the API | | 500, 502, 503, 504 - Server Errors | System Error | version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://carbonapistagingsecure.getcarbon.co/baas/api description: >- Replace {{base_url}} with your API base URL (e.g., https://api.example.com) security: - apikeyAuth: [] tags: - name: Accounts description: >- Virtual accounts are generated account details (account number and bank) that allow Carbon Business merchants to receive payments from customers via NGN bank transfer. This is currently only available in naira (NGN). Virtual accounts are either dynamic (temporary) or static (permanent). A dynamic account number expires after handling a transaction, while a static account number doesn't expire. **Static Account** Creating static accounts can be useful when receiving recurring payments through bank transfers. The process involves generating a static virtual account with customer information. Once payment is made, we will send you a webhook notification, which you can then manage. **Dynamic Account** Creating dynamic accounts can be useful when receiving one-time payments through bank transfers. The process involves generating a dynamic virtual account with a set amount for the customer during checkout. Once payment is made, we will send you a webhook notification, which you can then manage. Key things you can do with these endpoints: - Create an account - Retreive an account - Verify Transaction - Retreive a list of transactions - name: Accounts > Transactions - name: Banks description: |- - Get a list of banks and financial institutions - Verify/resolve account details - name: Customers description: >- This collection contains a set of API endpoints to manage customer-related operations for an application.
