API overview

We provide two environments - one for your live production usage, and one fully functional and free sandbox environment for testing and integration usage:

How to use the MANGOPAY REST API

We designed the Mangopay API in a very RESTful way, so that your user experience is simple and straightforward (Wikipedia). You are able to:

  • Submit data requires an HTTP POST request
  • Retrieve data requires an HTTP GET request
  • Change data requires an HTTP PUT request

Requests must be sent using Content-Type "application/json". The request and response body encoding is always UTF-8.

Formats used

Dates All date and time values are displayed as integer numbers and represent the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 UTC), like PHP time() function. The date/time property type in the specification is specified as “Time”, the actual JSON type is “Number”.

Case Sensitive Parameters The field and parameter names in requests are case sensitive.

ID All objects IDs are given as strings (even though their content is actually an integer).

Amounts All monetary amounts are given as integer numbers in cents (by default eurocents).

Currencies You can currently pay and wire funds in these currencies: AED, AUD, CAD, CHF, CZK, DKK, EUR, GBP, HKD, JPY, NOK, PLN, SEK, USD, and ZAR. For payout

The ISO_4217 format is expected

Response codes

The following HTTP codes are used by the API to respond to requests:

Response code Description
200 Request successful
400 Any kind of logical error with your request (missing parameters, invalid operation, constraint violation etc.)
403 Access is forbidden (authentication or authorisation failure)
404 Object not found
405 HTTP method not allowed (for example if you try to update a read-only object)
411 Length Required (if the request body is empty for methods that require it)
500 Internal server error - we advise you to try again later, or contact support if the problem persists
