Electrum Regulated Payments Events API (17.1.0)

The Electrum Regulated Payments Events API is a synchronous API that describes the events emitted by the Electrum Regulated Payments platform during the course of transaction processing.

This document describes the single endpoint that you will need to implement in order to receive event notifications posted by Electrum.

As transactions are processed by Electrum, events are emitted to provide information about the status of the transactions and the operations preformed on them. These events do not affect processing, but provide information that can be used for operational support and monitoring purposes.

All events are posted to the same single URL. Event are differentiated by a unique descriptor contained in the name field of the message body. This descriptor serves to allow the receiver to determine whether the particular event is of interest.

state

Transactions transition through different states. As each state is entered, an event is emitted. This event provides information about the state entered by the transaction. Included in this information is the message payload of the operation that triggered the state transition in the Electrum Regulated Payments. Note: The message payload attached to an event might be an internally-triggered message and not the message sent to or received from the Electrum Regulated Payments API.

Operations

Schema

IdentifierSchemeRegistrationResponse

Holds details of the outcome of the registration of an identifier externally with a scheme.

messageIdentifiersobject(MessageIdentifiers)required

Holds a point-to-point unique message identification string as well as a message's creation date time.

messageIdentifiers.​creationDateTimestring(date-time)required

The date and time at which the message was created, in senders local timezone or UTC. The date must be formatted as defined by date-time in RFC3339

messageIdentifiers.​messageIdentificationstring<= 35 charactersrequired

A reference used to unambiguously identify the message between the sending and receiving party. Take note that this uniquely identifies a single message in a potentially multi-message exchange to complete a payment.

supplementaryDataobject(SupplementaryData)

A list of key-value pairs to support adding any supplementary/additional data to an Electrum Regulated Payments API message.

originalMessageIdentifiersobject(MessageIdentifiers)required

Holds a point-to-point unique message identification string as well as a message's creation date time.

originalMessageIdentifiers.​creationDateTimestring(date-time)required

The date and time at which the message was created, in senders local timezone or UTC. The date must be formatted as defined by date-time in RFC3339

originalMessageIdentifiers.​messageIdentificationstring<= 35 charactersrequired

A reference used to unambiguously identify the message between the sending and receiving party. Take note that this uniquely identifies a single message in a potentially multi-message exchange to complete a payment.

An organisation identified by a code allocated to a party as described in ISO 17442 Financial Services - Legal Entity Identifier (LEI).

schemeRegistrationOutcome.​agent.​namestring<= 140 characters

Name by which an institution is known and which is usually used to identify that institution

schemeRegistrationOutcome.​agent.​companyRegistrationstring<= 35 charactersDeprecated

A unique identifier assigned to a company or organisation by a duly appointed authority within a country.

schemeRegistrationOutcome.​agent.​memberIdstring<= 35 charactersDeprecated

Deprecated. Please use the preferred clearingSystemMemberId.memberId instead. Identification of a member of a clearing system.

schemeRegistrationOutcome.​proxyobject(NonBankingIdentifier)required
schemeRegistrationOutcome.​proxy.​namespacestring[ 1 .. 40 ] characters

An identifier's namespace provides a context for the identifier to distinguish different identifiers which may have the same value but be intended to identify different accounts. For example, a bank may use the same MSISDN (identifier) with different namespaces to distinguish between a customer's cheque or savings accounts.

This may be used by the following schemes:

  • ZA_RPP
schemeRegistrationOutcome.​proxy.​schemastringrequired

Indicates the schema of the identifier, e.g. MOBILE, CUSTOM.
