API Reference
Zoranga API Workflow

To successfully integrate our API, it is important to understand these 2 steps

  1. Send Airtime Data to Zoranga via API and save the reference returned
  2. Provide an callback that will be called after validation of your trasaction. Validation time takes less than 2 mins

Optionally, you can make a status request call to check the validity status of your transaction

API Reference

API Reference

The Zoranga API is organized around REST and only one endpoint is used in accessing it. Our API is predictable and requests are made using POST method. We use built-in HTTP features, like HTTP authentication and HTTP verbs, which are understood by off-the-shelf HTTP clients. We support cross-origin resource sharing, allowing you to interact securely with our API from a client-side web application (though you should never expose your secret API key in any public website's client-side code). JSON is returned by all API responses, including errors.

To make the API as explorable as possible, we've designed it in a way that it accepts and processes POST requests with data in form-format and will also return errors and responses as JSON. This will allow anybody with Simple HTML knowledge to work with the API.
