Topups Reports (Quick Status)

When you submit a transaction, we do some very detailed handling to complete the request. The to_service_number is a tracking method used to follow the status of this request, including the balance of the transaction handoff to the carrier. Use this endpoint to get a quick update on the status of the request.

Example:

idtbeyond_iatu.to_service_number_search "to_service_number"

Request:

idtbeyond_iatu.to_service_number_search "2712345678"

Response:

{
	"success": true,
	"transaction_data": {
		"balance": "0",
		"status": "Redeemed"
	}
}

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
to_service_number	true	string	A unique IDT transaction number that gives the status of the transfer of funds from your account to the carrier.

Topups (Reverse)

Use this method to search for the status of a particular topup transaction, using the unique clientTransactionId you supplied in the request, and use the toServiceNumber.

Occasionally, a carrier will not be able to successfully complete a topup request. In this case, we will attempt to automatically reverse the transaction for you, and return the money into your account. In the case when this is not possible, you may need to request a reverse on the transaction that has a status of "status": "Not Redeemed".

Example:

idtbeyond_iatu.reverse_topup "client_transaction_id", "to_service_number"

Request:

idtbeyond_iatu.reverse_topup "my-client-trans-id", "2712345678"

Response:

{
   "success":true,
   "account_id":"12345678",
   "client_transaction_id":"my-client-trans-id",
   "transaction_id":"111222333",
   "to_service_number":"2712345678",
   "remaining_amount":0,
   "currency_symbol":"$",
   "currency_divisor":"100"
}

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
client_transaction_id	true	string	A unique id you use to track topups (Limit of 16 characters).
to_service_number	true	string	The service number of the financial transaction (moving the money between your balance and the carrier).

Charges Reports (all)

Returns a list of any credit card charges, wire-transfers, or credit adjustments on your application account.

Request:

idtbeyond_iatu.get_all_charges "2015-09-01", "2015-09-02"

Response:

[
   {
      "account_id":"12345678",
