What you get

Everything needed to sell a prepaid recharge, from the number being typed to the final status.

  • Operator and circle detection from a 10-digit number
  • Plans grouped by category for each circle
  • Wallet billing with a balance endpoint
  • SUCCESS, FAILED or PENDING status for every order

Designed around failure

Networks drop and operators delay. Send a client_ref and a retry returns the original order instead of charging twice. Failed recharges are refunded to your wallet automatically, and pending ones can be polled until they settle.

Controls for production

Create separate keys for each environment, lock a key to your server IPs, and revoke it at any time. Your dashboard shows every call with its status and latency.
