API Response

This describes the Response format for Quidpay APIs

Quidpay API calls return HTTP status codes in the response headers. API calls also return JSON response bodies that include information about the resource.

HTTP Status Codes

Each REST API request returns a success or error HTTP status code.

Success

In the response headers, Quidpay returns these HTTP status codes for successful requests:

Status codeDescription
200 OKThe request succeeded.

Error

In the responses for failed requests, Quidpay returns HTTP 400 status codes.

RAVE API errors can be grouped into three main categories. The validation errors, quidpay errors and provider errors.
They are usually returned in this format with the HTTP 400 status code:

{
    "status": "error",
    "message": "Merchant not enabled for API Disburse",
    "data": null
}

With Data Object.

{
  "status": "error",
  "message": "No transaction found",
  "data": {
    "code": "NO TX",
    "message": "No transaction found"
  }
}
