Authenticate your Hosted Fields session

To authenticate your access to our gateway, you must include a session token every time you run the Hosted Fields script on your webpage. The following constraints apply to session tokens:
  • A session token expires after 10 minutes.
  • You can use a session token only once for each instance of Hosted Fields.

Integration steps

Step 1. Generate a Bearer token.
Step 2. Generate a session token from the Bearer token.
Step 2a. (Optional) Generate a session token to update a secure token.

Before you begin

Headers

To create the header of each POST request, you must include the following parameters:
  • Content-Type: Include application/json as the value for this parameter.
  • Authorization: Include your Bearer token in this parameter.
  • Idempotency-Key: Include a UUID v4 to make the request idempotent.
curl
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-H "Authorization: <Bearer token>"
-H "Idempotency-Key: <UUID v4>"

Errors

If your request is unsuccessful, we return an error. For more information about errors, see Errors.

Step 1. Generate a Bearer token

Use our Identity Service to generate a Bearer token to include in the header of your requests. To generate your Bearer token, include your API key in the x-api-key parameter in the header of a POST request, and then send it to our Identity Service. Test endpoint: https://identity.uat.payroc.com/authorize
Production endpoint: https://identity.payroc.com/authorize
You need to generate a new Bearer token before the previous Bearer token expires.

Example request

curl --location --request POST 'https://identity.payroc.com/authorize' --header 'x-api-key: <api key>'

Example response

If your request is successful, we return a response that contains your Bearer token, information about its scope, and when it expires.
{
"access_token": "eyJhbGc....adQssw5c",
"expires_in": 3600,
"scope": "service_a service_b",
"token_type": "Bearer"
}

Step 2. Generate a session token from the Bearer token

You must generate a new session token for each instance of Hosted Fields. When you generate a session token, you need to specify the version of the Hosted Fields JavaScript library that you are using.
VersionNotes
1.3.0.135534Current production version
1.2.0-beta.135020Current test version
The version number is in the script tag of the config object.
To generate a session token, send a POST request to our Processing Terminals endpoint. Test endpoint: https://api.uat.payroc.com/v1/processing-terminals/{processingTerminalId}/hosted-fields-sessions
Production endpoint: https://api.payroc.com/v1/processing-terminals/{processingTerminalId}/hosted-fields-sessions

Step 2a. (Optional) Generate a session token to update a secure token

If you want to update a secure token, you also need to include the secureTokenId of the secure token that you want to update.

Request parameters

To create the body of your request, use the following parameters:
