ReadyRemit v1 2022-04-15 Release Note

This release features the addition of a request-id header to ReadyRemit API response headers, and several changes to API operations that tend to simplify the interface.

General

Request ID

Each API operation (except Get Access Token) includes a request-id response header that uniquely identifies the specific request:

request-id: 0f749497-08be-40ef-8d29-050ce86fe619

ReadyRemit API consumers together with ReadyRemit support engineers can use this identifier to troubleshoot a particular request. See 18600.

Transfer Status

This release establishes the following transfer statuses:

  • Pending release
  • Released
  • Canceled

See 17979.

API operations

Create Recipient

This operation no longer supports dstCountryIso3Code, dstCurrencyIso3ode, and transferMethod query parameters. See 18655.

Create Recipient Account

The request data no longer requires a senderId property. The ReadyRemit service now uses the recipientId path parameter to determine the associated senderId without assistance from the API client. See 18668.

Get Recipient

For recipientType=PERSON, this operation returns firstName and lastName properties and fields:

{
  "recipientId": "6f5ba7ce-0d40-449e-81de-b12c618eb6dd",
  "senderId": "55ef79b0-0f0f-459f-ad62-effcf516df7d",
  "recipientType": "PERSON",
  "firstName": "Jane",
  "lastName": "Doe",
  "fields": [
    {
      "id": "FIRST_NAME",
      "type": "TEXT",
      "value": "Jane"
    },
    {
      "id": "LAST_NAME",
      "type": "TEXT",
      "value": "Doe"
    }
  ]
}

For recipientType=BUSINESS, this operation returns a companyName property and a corresponding field:

{
  "recipientId": "7aeefa7e-4e2c-4a3f-b702-61cc27f47087",
  "senderId": "55ef79b0-0f0f-459f-ad62-effcf516df7d",
  "recipientType": "BUSINESS",
  "companyName": "Overseas Inc",
  "fields": [
    {
      "id": "COMPANY_NAME",
      "type": "TEXT",
      "value": "Overseas Inc"
    }
  ]
}

See 18765.

Get Recipients

For recipientType=PERSON, this operation returns firstName and lastName properties and fields, and for recipientType=BUSINESS, this operation returns a companyName property and a corresponding field:

{
  "recipients": [
    {
      "recipientId": "986d85c1-72b8-47ef-85d5-619b308fa6fa",
      "senderId": "55ef79b0-0f0f-459f-ad62-effcf516df7d",
      "recipientType": "PERSON",
      "firstName": "Alpha",
      "lastName": "Flight",
      "fields": [
        {
          "id": "FIRST_NAME",
          "type": "TEXT",
          "value": "Alpha"
        },
        {
          "id": "LAST_NAME",
          "type": "TEXT",
          "value": "Flight"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "recipientId": "59555d87-5357-4e17-bcb1-83cbcf59a711",
      "senderId": "55ef79b0-0f0f-459f-ad62-effcf516df7d",
      "recipientType": "BUSINESS",
      "companyName": "Overseas Inc",
      "fields": [
        {
          "id": "COMPANY_NAME",
          "type": "TEXT",
          "value": "Overseas Inc"
        }
      ]
    }

See 18765.

Get Transfer Fields

The API now includes a Get Transfer Fields operation which, given destination country & currency codes and a transfer method, returns required or optional fields for inclusion in Execute Transfer. One such field is Purpose of Remittance ("fieldId": "REMITTANCE_PURPOSE"). This field includes a list of options (e.g. Family Maintenance, Education, Medical, etc.) for use in a dropdown menu. See 18361.

Update Recipient

This operation no longer supports dstCountryIso3Code, dstCurrencyIso3ode, and transferMethod query parameters. See 18655.

Update Recipient Account

The request data no longer requires a senderId property. The ReadyRemit service now uses the recipientId path parameter to determine the associated senderId without assistance from the API client. See 18668.
