POST /aps/api/v1/codes/inquiryCodeRules

In the Cashier Payment or the Merchant-presented Mode Payment scenario, this API is used by the Mobile Payment Provider (MPP) to inquire about Alipay+ code rules. If the request succeeds, the MPP obtains Alipay+ code rules and saves them on its server. When receiving a code, the MPP then uses the code rules locally to identify whether the code can be processed by Alipay+.

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:

  • exclude them from the request body.
  • set the 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.
