Cashgram API

Learn more about Cashgram API.
Guidelines
Below are the steps you must be aware of while calling Cashgram APIs:
All API responses are in JSON format.
POST Requests should include ContentType: application/json 
All API response has status, subCode, message, and data.
Subcode is the status subcode of the response-All requests to Cashfree that are processed by the server return HTTP 200. Use the status flag to determine if the request was successfully processed. Check the error subcodes here.
It is strongly recommended to scan error sub-code and not error messages.

Authentication
Calling the Authentication APIs allows you to get and verify bearer tokens returned by Cashfree. Cashfree require these token for all further communication.
Cashfree libraries automatically call the Authorize API and internally store the token.
Do not store the token in an insecure manner. Regenerating a new token does not invalidate the already generated token. Token generated from one IP address cannot be used from a different IP.
Token generated is valid for 300 seconds. Please ensure that you recall the authorize API once the token has expired.
Ensure your IP is whitelisted to find out how to whitelist your IP or if you have a dynamic IP, take a look here.

Authorize
/payout/v1/authorize
To authenticate with the Cashfree system and obtain the authorization bearer token, call the authorize API. All other API calls must have this token as Authorization header in the format 'Bearer <token>' (without quotes) for them to get processed.
