POST /aps/api/v1/payments/inquiryPayment

The inquiryPayment API is used by the Acquiring Service Provider (ACQP) to query the payment result if no payment result is received after a certain period of time. 

Note: In the following sections, Mobile Payment Provider (MPP) is also known as Payment Service Provider. For example, the pspId parameter specifies the ID that identifies an MPP. 

Structure

A message consists of a header and body. The following sections are focused on the body structure. For the header structure, see:

Note: 

Set the data type of each field (except array) as String. This means that you must use double quotation marks (" ") to enclose the field value. Examples:

  • If the data type of a field is Integer and its value is 20, set it as "20".
  • If the data type of a field is Boolean and its value is true, set it as "true". 

For optional parameters that are not required in your case, you can:

  • exclude it from the request body. 
  • set its value as null (without the double quotation marks).

Do NOT leave it empty by setting its value as ""; otherwise, an error might occur.
