caution

We highly recommended you to select strict API key permission. Generate unique API key for different product or don't select permission for product you are not planning to use yet

Create API Request

Use our Postman collection to explore Xendit APIs. Simply select any API you're interested in, attach the API key in header, and send the request

Setup Webhook/Callback

For some of our products, we'll send a webhook/callback after we have processed your requests. Webhook/Callback setup can be done via these steps:

1. Set up your server to listen to our callback request. You can use a tool like ngrok to make your endpoint available for receiving callback
2. Navigate to Callback settings in Xendit Dashboard
3. Attach your server's URL in the input box of the product you are going to use. Click Save and Test and a dummy event will be sent to the URL
4. Validate Xendit as legitimate webhook sender via x-callback-token header. Find your x-callback-token in Callback verification token section in Callback settings

See Callback page for more information about our callback feature

Setup IP Whitelist

Block unauthorised request from unrecognised IP Address by whiteliting your server IP Address

1. Navigate to IP Whitelist settings in Xendit Dashboard
2. In IP Whitelists section, Add IP Address to whitelist your server IPs. You can find your IP address by using What's My IP
