Welcome to the Transaction API

The Transaction API allows client systems to interact with core payment services on the Vitesse platform. Through the API, systems can send payments, retrieve account information, manage recipients, and perform foreign exchange (FX) operations.

The Transaction API follows REST principles. All request and response bodies, including errors, are encoded in JSON. To ensure security, all requests must be made over HTTPS and authenticated using an API token.

The Transaction API provides access to the following functional areas:

• Transactions – Send payments to recipients.
• Recipients – Store and manage recipient details for repeated payments.
• Accounts – Retrieve account balances and account activity.
• Forex – Retrieve and lock foreign exchange rates for cross-currency payments.
• Rules – Retrieve country- and currency-specific validation requirements for payments.
