PayTrace Help

The PayTrace JSON API requires authentication and authorization in order to make request. OAuth 2.0 provides a "password" grant type which can be used to exchange a username and password for an access token directly. The client identifier and client secret are not currently used for accessing this API, but may be used in future versions of the JSON API. You will see that with a good OAuth 2.0 library to help you, integrating and authenticating with our API is easy and secure.

Every request that is part of the API requires authentication via the access token described in the previous paragraph (except for /v1/ping).
