initiateRetrievalMPP → Alipay+
The initiateRetrieval API is used by the Mobile Payment Provider (MPP) to send a retrieval request to Alipay+. When using this API, the MPP needs to take the following things into consideration:
- For each transaction, a maximum of 5 retrieval requests can be initiated (excluding those that are canceled), while a transaction can have only 1 ongoing retrieval request.
- The MPP can only initiate retrieval requests within 360 days from the day when the transaction occurs.
When receiving the initiateRetrieval request, Alipay+ sends a synchronous response to indicate the request acceptance result, and then uses the responseRetrieval API to send the required information to the 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:
1. Set the data type of each parameter (except array) as String. This means that you must use double quotation marks (" ") to enclose the parameter value. Examples:
- If the data type of a parameter is Integer and its value is 20, set it as "20".
- If the data type of a parameter is Boolean and its value is true, set it as "true".
2. For optional parameters that are not required in your case, you can take one of the following actions:
- Exclude the parameters from the request body.
- Set the parameter values as null (without the double quotation marks).
Do NOT leave the optional parameters empty by setting their values as ""; otherwise, an error might occur.
Request parameters
disputeRequestId String REQUIRED
The unique ID that is assigned by the MPP to identify a retrieval request.

More information:
- This field is an API idempotency field.For requests that are initiated with the same disputeRequestId, Alipay+ regards the requests as repeated and processes the requests only once.
