#API playground

Ponch hosts an interactive API explorer where you can send real requests from your browser:

https://app.getponch.com/api/docs

#Using it

1. Open the page and click Authorize (top right).
2. Paste your API key into the MerchantAPIKeyAuth box and click Authorize, then Close. Leave MerchantJWTAuth empty: that one is for the Ponch dashboard.
3. Open an endpoint, click Try it out, fill in the parameters or body, and click Execute. You'll see the response, plus the equivalent curl command to copy.

The raw OpenAPI schema is at https://app.getponch.com/api/openapi.json, if you want to generate a client.

#Things to know

• It acts on your real data. There's no sandbox. Stamping or redeeming here changes a real card and updates the customer's wallet pass straight away. To experiment, create a test stamp card in the dashboard, add a card to your own phone, and use that barcode.
• It lists every endpoint, including dashboard-only ones. Only the endpoints in the endpoint reference accept an API key. The rest return 401 even with a valid key, which doesn't mean your key is broken.
• Text in responses follows the language you last chose in the Ponch dashboard, or else your browser's language. Your own integration should send Accept-Language explicitly. See Language.
