Your APIs for us

We can send following information to your API endpoints:

• 3DS OTP code, so you can handle delivery to the user yourself via SMS, Push or other channel.
• Notification about outcome of KYC process.
• Transaction request, so you can keep users balance on your end and accept or reject transactions their transactions (we call this "External Balance").
  
• Simple notification about transactions.

To make this work, you need to expose an API according to relevant section of this documentation.

To use external balance you must have Banking License or Payment Institution License. Additionally if you don't directly own BIN range, total sum of transactions of your users will be limited by deposit called "Master Balance".

Security

To set secured server-server connection between our services Verestro requires a similar connection as in the case of client to Verestro communication based on the x509 certificate, more about this model here.
In the first step, Verestro will send to the client a CSR for the dev and production environments, more details here.
The next step is for the client to sign the CSR and send the certificate back to Verestro along with the base URL for the methods listed below. Verestro will authorize itself with each request with a certificate, which should be checked on the client side.

Additional data encryption & integration

Some requests and responses contain sensitive data, to additionally secure the connection we require JSON Web Encryption (JWE).

Idempotency Key

With some requests additional header X-Idempotency-Key could be send. This header contain unique random id allowing to identify single request.
If client send this header, operation should be triggered only once and for any further request with this key, response should be identical - in most cases, returned from cache.

example headers:

X-Idempotency-Key: 20e87975-dbfb-4c95-b239-169516c0b707

JWE configuration

connection we need from you enc and alg from JWE parameters. Acceptable values are:

• Algorithm used by Verestro to encipher content of message (enc) - A256GCM,
• Algorithm used by Verestro to encipher encryption key (alg) - RSA-OAEP-256,
• Algorithm needed from you to encipher content of message (enc) - A256GCM,
• Allowed algorithms for key encryption (alg) - RSA-OAEP-256  or  RSA-OAEP.

Recommended JWE libraries for various programming languages:

• PHP,
• JAVA.

Request:

To process encrypted message you need to perform a few additional steps on top of standard message processing:

• Verestro add headlines:
  • Public-Key through which you can encrypt response to us (if needed),
  • Encrypted-Request headline confirming message encryption; value true or false,
    
• Expose endpoint with your Public Key - you will find a similar endpoint in our technical documentation, GET /secure/public_key
• Use Verestro Public Key to create JWE and transfer data in payload,

Response:

When the response contains sensitive data that requires encryption, use Verestro public key encryption available here GET /secure/public_key

Additional information:

Example request:

{"card_no" : 1337}

{"card_no" : 1337}

Example response:

{"card_no" : 1338}

Remember to avoid billing problems
Deleting a balance is only possible when its status is 0. This also applies to situations in which a user with at least one balance is deleted.

Transaction processing 

Remember to avoid communication errors
Verestro servers attach an X-Idempotency-Key to each request in the header. This header contains a unique ID for each request to ensure idempotence. Each request with a unique identifier in this header should be processed only once on the client side and the response to it should be identical - in most cases, returned from cache

example:

curl POST "https://server-domain.com/transactions/debit"
--header "X-Idempotency-Key: 21aa0c2a-5554-4071-bd48-b9c64a0b6270"

Response

Only responses with http code 200 & 204 are allowed.

200 OK

204 NoContent

In case of any other response code,  Antaca will try to send a request once again (up to 5 times). Every time a request will be identical with the same X-idempotency-key. Keep in mind that if your service has answered properly, network errors can arise either way. If Antaca resends the request with the same X-Idempotency-Key, the response should be retrieved from the cache.
