Getting started with Sqala api in 3 steps

Follow these three steps to get started with Sqala API and start creating your payments.

Request your Credentials

Get your credentials from the developer area in our portal. Access it through the user menu in the top left corner of our dashboard or directly via this URL click in the button Access credentials to get your AppId, AppSecret ,RefreshToken and the PublicKey.

The AppId, AppSecret and the RefreshToken will be used to generate an Access Token
The PublicKey is only used to Tokenize a Card..

Create an Access Token

📘
All API requests must use HTTPS. Requests made over plain HTTP or without authentication will fail.

import fetch from 'node-fetch'
import { encode } from 'base-64'

const response = await fetch('https://api.sqala.tech/core/v1/access-tokens', {
    headers: { 
      'Authorization': 'Basic ' + encode('YOUR_APP_ID' + ':' + 'YOUR_APP_SECRET'),
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify({
        'refreshToken': 'YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN'
    })
})

const data = await response.json()

console.log(data)

output

{
  "token": "eyJraWQiOiJwb1NPeDI0VHRmbDZCYjdaZ3RcL296WGpqUzMrTVlkYTNScXdON1dVSXJkbz0iLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIyZjE5MDk0Mi1jMjY5LTQxMjQtOTNkNy01YTdmYTkwMTQ0",
  "expiresIn": 3600,
  "type": "Bearer"
}

Create your first pix payment 💰

YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN is a token in the output of step 2.

📘
The amount is defined in cents. eg:. 1 real must be sent as 100 in the amount field

import fetch from 'node-fetch'

const response = await fetch('https://api.sqala.tech/core/v1/pix-qrcode-payments', {
    headers: { 
      'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify({
        amount: 100
    })
})

Remember to:

Always include the access token in the Authorization header
Handle token expiration and renewal
Store tokens securely
