Quickstart

This quickstart gets you up and running with the ZuriPay API. We will cover where to find your API keys and how to make your first request to initialize a payment transaction.

Get your API keys from the ZuriPay Dashboard at dashboard.zuripay.app. API keys are managed under Settings > API Keys. You will receive both test keys (sk_test_*) and live keys (sk_live_*).

Install your preferred HTTP client

ZuriPay provides a simple REST API. You can use any HTTP client in any language. Here are some options:

# cURL is most likely already installed on your machine
curl --version

Making your first API request

Here is an example of initializing a payment transaction. This creates a new transaction and returns a transaction ID and reference.

POST

/v1/transactions

curl -X POST https://api.zuripay.app/v1/transactions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_test_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "amount": 1000,
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "currency": "USD",
    "success_url": "https://yoursite.com/success",
    "failure_url": "https://yoursite.com/failure"
  }'
