puts response.read_bodyAuthorizations
Static business API key issued from the dashboard. A business can provision multiple API keys, each scoped to a configurable set of permissions (e.g. read transactions, create deposits, etc). Permissions are chosen per key at creation time in the dashboard and may be revoked by deleting the key. Requests made with a key that does not include the permission required by the target endpoint is rejected with a 401 Unauthorized response, the same response an unrecognised, malformed or revoked key returns. The API does not distinguish the two cases on the wire. Manage your keys and their permissions under Developer → API keys in the dashboard.
Headers
Signature of the request payload, used for request authentication where payload signing is enabled for your business.
API version in ISO 8601 format. The only supported version is 2026-05-18, which is also the default when the header is omitted. Any other value is rejected with a 400 Bad Request.
Query Parameters
The payment method channel. Institution lookup is only implemented for these three channels; any other channel returns 400 INVALID_TRANSACTION_CHANNEL.
BANK_ACCOUNT, SWIFT, MOBILE_MONEY The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code
