Sign In

Get your Secret Key

Save the Secret Key as it will be used in the next steps of this guide.

Retrieve a Payment

We will need to reference the payment's transaction_id to pull information about the payment.

For example, given you have a payment:

{
  "id": "pmt_2YKewBonG4tgk12MheY3PiHDy",
  "account_id": "acc_B518niGwGYKzig6vtrRVZGGGV",
  "environment": "test",
  "status": "successful",
  "transaction_id": "trx_95rvMJvAVeG68W4NtLdfkN3LG",
  ...
}

We need to make a call to (Get Transaction)(/api/get-transaction-by-id) endpoint:

Get Transaction by ID

curl 'https://api.publicsquare.com/transactions/trx_95rvMJvAVeG68W4NtLdfkN3LG?include_type=true' \
-H 'X-API-KEY: <API_KEY>' \

Given the above examples, you should see a transaction response similar to:

{
  "id": "trx_95rvMJvAVeG68W4NtLdfkN3LG",
  "account_id": "acc_B518niGwGYKzig6vtrRVZGGGV",
  "environment": "test",

    },
