Authorisation - Enkash APIs

The Get Authorisation Token API is a critical step for authenticating all subsequent API requests. This token ensures secure communication by verifying the legitimacy of the requesting source.

Purpose

The API generates an authentication token that must be included in the headers of all subsequent API requests. This token acts as proof of authorization and helps maintain secure interactions with Enkash servers.

Endpoint

Environment	Endpoint URL
Test	`https://olympus-pg-uat.enkash.in/api/v0/merchant/token`

Request Headers

Header	Value	Description
`Content-Type`	`application/json`	Specifies the media type of the request body.
`API-Key`	Your unique API key	Provided by Enkash upon registration.

Sample Request:

POST https://olympus-pg-uat.enkash.in/api/v0/merchant/token  
Headers:  
{  
  "Content-Type": "application/json",  
  "API-Key": "your-api-key"  
}

Response

Upon a successful request, the server will return a JSON object containing the generated token and additional details:

Field	Type	Description
`token`	`string`	The generated authentication token
`expiry`	`integer (int64)`	Token expiration time in milliseconds
`resultCode`	`integer (int32)`	Status code indicating the outcome of the token generation request
`resultMessage`	`string`	Additional information about the request's result

Sample Response:

{  
  "token": "abcdef1234567890",  
  "expiry": 1672531199000,  
  "resultCode": 200,  
  "resultMessage": "Token generated successfully."  
}

Integration Notes

The token must be included in the Authorization header for all subsequent API requests

Authorization: Bearer {token}

Ensure you handle token expiration by either:

Monitoring the expiry timestamp and refreshing the token in advance

Implementing retry logic for requests that fail due to expired tokens
