Responses

All Voucher API calls return a JSON object. There are two main types of responses; “success” and “error“. These response types can be found in the value of the “status” key in the JSON response object

Success

If all submitted data is valid, you will receive a JSON response object indicating a “success” value for the “status” key. Below is an example of a successful transaction using the Voucher API.

{

    "status": "success",
    "msg": "Voucher check successful",
    "value": "0.00"

}

Error

error” responses may be received for various reasons. Check the value of the “msg” key in the JSON response object to diagnose what your specific error may be caused by. The following is an example of  an “error” response.

{
    "status": "error",
    "msg": "Invalid Voucher"
}

The possible values of the “msg” key in an “error” type response are as follows:

Error Message Likely Cause
Parameter: voucher is missing The submitted voucher in the API call is empty.
Parameter: voucher not found There is no registered WiPay Voucher with a Voucher Number that matches the submitted voucher in the API call.
Too many attempts There were more than five (5) API calls within the last sixty (60) seconds.
