0. Read This First (10-Second Mode)

0.1 Minimal Copy/Paste Bootstrap Calls

Authenticate:

curl --location '{{baseurl}}/api/auth/v1/authenticate' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"clientId": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
"clientSecret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
}'

Template secured call:

curl --location '{{baseurl}}/api/account/v1/searchaccount?PageNumber=1&PageSize=10' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
--header 'request-reference: req-001-unique' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'

Hard health-check call (simple + safe):

curl --location '{{baseurl}}/api/product/v1/searchproducts?PageNumber=1&PageSize=1' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
--header 'request-reference: req-002-unique' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'

1. Platform Conventions

1.1 Base Pattern

  • Route pattern: /api/{module}/v1/{action}
  • Example: /api/account/v1/createcustomeraccount

1.2 Authorization

  • Authenticate via /api/auth/v1/authenticate with clientId and clientSecret.
  • Use Authorization: Bearer {token} on secured endpoints.
  • API-channel policy requires actor_type=api_client claim.

1.3 API Key Inactivity Rule

  • Unused API clients are auto-deactivated after 14 days.

1.4 Common Headers

  • Authorization: bearer {token}
  • Content-Type: application/json
  • request-reference: {unique_value} (recommended)

1.5 Amount Unit

  • Monetary values are in Naira (not kobo).

1.6 Institution-Level Integration Config

  • Bills, Transfer, and Card integrations are configured per institution in Configuration.
  • Shared gateway keys are appsettings fallback only.

2. Authentication (AUTH)

Base route: /api/auth/v1

2.1 POST /authenticate

Request:

{
"clientId": "string",
"clientSecret": "string"
}

Success:

{
"accessToken": "string",
"tokenType": "Bearer",
"expirationTime": 1700000000,
"tokenValiditySec": 3600
}
