Swap API

Our Swap API give merchants the ability to swap funds between their wallets via API using our internal Klasha rates.

Integration step

You can swap money in three easy steps:

  1. Generate a bearer token (see authentication)

  2. Generate a quote for the swap

  3. Confirm swap

Encryption Algorithm can be gotten here

Generate a bearer token

Use the token obtained here as the Bearer token on all request headers here.

You’d also need to pass, as header the x-auth-token. This can be obtained from your merchant dashboard → Settings → Generate API keys → Merchant public key.

Generate a quote

POST - {{env_url}}/wallet/swap/generate/quote

Call the Create Quote API to generate your quote. See an example of the payload you need to encrypt and send in order to generate your quote.

The encrypted JSON body for the request can be found in the Postman link as well as other APIs.

Make a GET call to the Fetch by swap reference to retrieve a swap transaction.

You’d need to pass the transactionReference you obtained when you initiated the swap, as a path variable.

Notes

Klasha Swap Statuses

When you generate a quote and confirm the swap, one of the field in the response body is transactionStatus, here you can find all the possible cases and explanation:

  • PENDING: this is the status when a swap gets initialised through the API. This is not a final status.

  • SUCCESSFUL: the swap was executed successfully. Final status.

  • CANCELLED: The swap has been cancelled from the Klasha finance/operation team, in result of previous communication with the merchant. Final status.

  • FAILED: the initiated swap failed to be executed. Final status.

Quote expiry logic

After you proceeded generating your quote, you can now convert that quote to confirm a swap transactions.

The confirmation would be successful if the quote is NOT expired.

A quote does not expire because of time but just if the rate in our system changed.

Example

If you generate a quote on 1st Oct at 11am and at 3pm the rate changes, you can convert your quote into a initiated payment until 2:59:59pm. Right after, then the rate get updated at 3pm, you won’t be able to confirm the swap with that quote and you’d have to generate a new quote.

In case you try to initiate a payment with an expired quote, you’d have a Bad Request response with the the following body:
