Sending Requests using Compact JSON (Required)

All requests in Sandbox and Production are sent using compact JSON.

You may find this notice one of the of the API Reference pages:

API examples are shown in a human-readable format for clarity. Actual API request bodies must use compact JSON.

When you sent a request to the TabaPay API without compact JSON, you should receive the error "EM":"JSON NOT PACKED".

API Requests with a request body like Create Transaction , Query Card , or Query Bank all require removing any whitespaces for a successful call.

Here is an example of Query Card with packed JSON.

Query Card - JSON Request

{"card":{"accountNumber":"4111111111111111","expirationDate":"202708","securityCode":"232"},"owner":{"name":{"first":"Test","last":"Name"},"address":{"line1":"123 Street","city":"San Francisco","state":"CA","zipcode":"94104","country":"840"}},"currency":"840","timeout":"39"}

Here is an example of Query Cad without packed JSON, and human-readable format for clarity.

{
    "card": {
        "accountNumber": "4111111111111111",
        "expirationDate": "202708",
        "securityCode": "232"
    },
    "owner": {
        "name": {
            "first": "Test",
            "last": "Name"
        },
        "address": {
            "line1": "123 Street",
            "city": "San Francisco",
            "state": "CA",
            "zipcode": "94104",
            "country": "840"
        }
    },
    "currency": "840",

}
