API response

Understanding the structure of API responses is crucial for effectively integrating with and utilizing the Paybin API. Paybin's API response design aims to provide clear, actionable information while enhancing security and facilitating internationalization. Below is an overview of the key components of a Paybin API response:

Response

{
    "apiVersion": "1.0.0.0",
    "data": {},
    "code": 200,
    "message": "OK"
}

Component	Description
`apiVersion`	Indicates the current version of the Paybin API you're interacting with. It ensures compatibility and access to version-specific features or changes.
`data`	Contains the relevant data payload for your request. This could include details of a transaction, user information, or other pertinent data.
`code`	A status code representing the outcome of the API call. A code of `200` indicates success, while any other code signifies an error.
`message`	Provides a brief message corresponding to the `code`. For success, it's typically "OK". For errors, unique codes like `Z503` indicate specific issues. See all error codes

Unique Error Codes:

Paybin employs unique error codes, such as Z503, to enable clients to handle errors more easily, support localization, and enable precise issue identification. These codes are crucial for allowing for the development of multilingual applications, and facilitating easier debugging

Why This Approach?

This structured response format ensures developers can easily parse responses, manage errors, and adapt applications for international users. Paybin's commitment to security and user-friendly design is evident in its API's response structure, catering to the needs of a global audience.
