Welcome to Edge API documentation. Let's get started by making Edge yours.

Introduction

Get started with Edge—your all-in-one API Banking platform. Follow these steps to quickly set up your account and start integrating financial services into your business.

Onboarding

To interact with the Edge API, you’ll need to authenticate your requests using a token. This token is generated from your API credentials and is required for all API calls.

Authentication

When interacting with the Edge API, understanding how data is secured is crucial. Depending on the environment—production or sandbox—the encryption protocols differ, affecting how you handle API requests and responses.

Data Encryption

When integrating with the Edge API, understanding the different environments available is crucial for smooth development and deployment. Edge provides two distinct environments—**Sandbox** and **Production**—each tailored for specific stages of your integration process. This guide will walk you through the purpose of each environment, how to use them effectively, and best practices for transitioning from testing to live operations.

Environment

When working with the Edge API, you will encounter various response codes that indicate the outcome of your requests. These codes follow the ISO 8583 standard, commonly used in financial transactions. Understanding these codes is essential for handling API responses effectively.

Response Codes

Webhooks are a powerful feature that allows your application to receive real-time notifications about specific events that occur within the Edge platform. By setting up webhooks, you can automate processes, update records, and trigger workflows in your application as soon as an event happens.

Webhook

Idempotency ensures that multiple identical requests to the Edge API have the same effect as making a single request. This is crucial for operations like payments or customer creation, where duplicate processing due to retries could cause unintended consequences, such as charging a customer multiple times.

Understand Edge's pricing structure and learn how to optimize your usage based on your business needs.
