C9 OpenAPI Introduction

We are proud to present to you our C9 API in the OpenAPI format (Swagger). This is a documentation suite combined with a testing sandbox, which allows you to play with live samples while learning how the API works.  Full schema and examples are included.

The following are the, tools that are provided by the OpenAPI Documentation:
  1. Schema, which is just a list of parameter names and their values. You can see those in the sample source code. They have names, such “Sale” or “GMID”, which stands for Gateway Merchant ID
  2. Examples. which show you sample ways of using the Schema
  3. Try It, which is a way to run the JSON payload against the API server

Important API Usage Notes

In LIVE environment do not use #[TransType] after /restApi path. You should omit # and everything behind it.  Transaction type will only be identified through using “TransType” value in the body.

Test Account

 You will be using a TSYS test server.  For successful transactions, you will need to use specific test card numbers, amounts, CVV, AVS, etc.

IMPORTANT:  please, see TSYS Test Account for complete information on getting successful authorizations with our test sandbox.  You will receive errors if you use the wrong parameters.

As a quick guide, you can use real card numbers (they will not be charged or used), $1.00 amounts and 999 CVV.

Third Party Tools (Postman)

While we supply a complete sandbox here, where you can test various API, you can also try out our API, using any free JSON testing tool, such as Postman

NOTE: In Live environment use only /restApi path. Omit the #TransType shown in examples (transaction type will be identified only using the “TransType” value in the body)
