Environment

TaliBpay makes use of two base API endpoint for both sandbox/development and production environment to communicate with our API's

Environment Purpose Base URL
Sandbox/development The sandbox/development environment is used majorly during the product development phase. Note - every single transaction that happens via the sandbox will not. involve real money. No actual value will be spent. Coming Soon!!! https://talibpay.com/api/test
Production The production environment is used when the product is about to go live and ready to be used by the general public. https://talibpay.com/api/live

Note

We recommend storing these credentials in environment variables or using a key management tool to keep track of them. You could use one of the following: AWS Secret Manager, HashiCorp Vault, Azure Secret Manager, and so on.

API Keys & Authorization

API Keys

Every API request to TaliBpay's endpoints must include an API key If you do not include an API key with your request, or if you use an incorrect or outdated key, TaliBpay will reject it and return an error.

TaliBpay offers two types of keys: test keys and live keys. When you're ready to go live, use your test keys in your sandbox or development environment, and your live keys when you're ready to go live.

When you sign up for TaliBpay, your API keys are generated automatically. To obtain your keys, please go to the dashboard, click on the Account Settings link, and look for your API key under the API & Webhook tabs.

You will see two api key, the one to use will be dependent on the state of your application

Authorization

Every communication with an API will require the API key, which must be sent via a header 'Authorization'. We strongly advise you to keep your API key on your own server and only make it available to team members who absolutely need to have it.

See the code sample below for an example.

curl --location --request POST {{baseUrl}}/v1/load/wallet-balance \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --header 'Accept: application/json' \
     --header 'Authorization: {{TALIBPAY_API_KEY}}' \
     --data-raw 
       '{
          "email":  "{{email}}" 
        }'
Security

While we strongly recommend you to keep your keys private, we recognize that bad things do happen. If your key has been compromised or you suspect something has gone wrong, we strongly advise you to generate a new key right away. When you generate a new key, all previous keys become invalid, and TaliBpay will not honor requests sent with those keys.

Errors

For all of our transactions, TaliBpay employs standard HTTP response codes. The error codes range from the 200s to the 500s. Success is indicated by HTTP response codes in the 2xx range. Depending on the action taken, we will typically send you a 200 or a 201. Those in the 4xx range indicate an error that was not detected based on the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted or access is denied from a resource etc.). Error codes in the 5xx range indicate a problem on our end (we are humans after all). See below:

Code Meaning What happened
200 OK Everything is fine. You're cleared for take off.
201 Created Everything is still fine, but this time around, we created a resource for you on our end. We are kind like that.
401 Unauthorized You didn't provide a valid API key.
409 Conflict The request conflicted with another one. There's a high likelihood that we have already treated this request.
424 Failed Ouch! We couldn't accept this request, you omitted a required parameter or it's an outright failure from us. Don't break a sweat, reconfirm, again.
429 Too Many Request You're hitting our API too quickly. Pump your breaks, captain.
5xx Server Error We messed up and we are sorry 😞, We advise that you check that you have not been debited for the transaction

Getting started

To begin using TaliBpay as your preferred By Now, Bill Payment solution, you must first create an account. Simply register via the our platform. When you're finished, log-on into your account, go to the account settings page, check the API & Webhook tabs, and copy your TaliBpay api key. We'll be needing it soon. To begin integrating TaliBpay as a customer, simply place your API key in the header section of your request. When you finish this process, you'll be halfway there.

How To Generate Reference

This section contains the recommended format of generating reference

Reference Format

The Reference should be a string in the unix format YYYYMMDDHHII consisting of today’s date + current hour and minute (e.g: 202306280331) and can be concatenated with any other alphanumeric string as desired (e.g: 202306280331Y5WSUG49ERTYGT or 2023062803314738492849).

Note

  • MUST BE 25 CHARACTERS MINIMUM & 30 CHARCTERS MAXIMUM
  • FIRST 12 CHARACTERS MUST BE NUMERIC
  • FIRST 12 CHARACTERS MUST COMPRISE OF TODAY’S DATE
  • DATE & TIME SHOULD BE IN AFRICA/LAGOS Timezone OR GMT +1

Example: 202306280331Y5WSUG49ERTYGT

Introduction

Learn how to listen to events whenever certain actions occur on your integration.

What are webhooks?

During a transaction lifecycle, TaliBpay sends events that your application can listen to. A webhook is an accessible URL on your server to which we send payloads. For example, TaliBpay sends webhook events when a transaction has been initiated, failed and when it's successful

By using webhooks, you can tightly integrate your backend application with TaliBpay. The platform currently supports one kind of webhook: Data. Webhook follow a common set of rules:

  • Webhook should be reachable from the public internet. During development and you are on localhost, tunnelling services like Ngrok are supported.
  • Webhook should accept HTTP POST requests with JSON payload
  • Webhook should respond with http response codes 200
  • Webhook should respond as fast as possible.
  • Webhook should be ready to accept the same call multiple times: in case of network or remote server failure.

    • Responding to an event

    You should respond to a webhook event with a 200 OK. We consider this an acknowledgement of your application. If your application responds with any status outside of the 2xx range, we will consider it unacknowledged

    Supported Event

                {
                    "status": true,

                    "data": {

                        "message": "Dear Customer, You have successfully shared 500MB Data to 23481663****2. 9961.07 31\\/08\\/2023. Thankyou",

                    "time": "2023-28-06 09:42:16"
                }
    • AIRTIME
    
                {
                    "status": true,
                    "code": 200,
                    "data": {
                        "type": "Airtime",
                        "message": "You have topped up N10.00 to 2348*****7382. Your balance is now N477,204.00. ref: 2023062720284751203431431",

                    },
                    "time": "2023-28-06 12:36:41"
                }

    Idempotent Webhooks

    We strongly suggest you make webhooks idempotent. That means, you should always check the webhook reference and make sure that you're not processing the same webhook more than once.

    Setting up webhook

    In other to take advantage of webhooks, you will have to first set up a publicly available URL that TaliBpay can have access to. To set up one, kindly go to your dashboard, click on the Account Settings link and check under the API & Webhook tabs, there, you will find an input box for your webhook.
