DID Exchange application programming interface (API) documentation for buyers.

This document covers API access to TCXC buyers functions related to DID numbers.

The API users can: View DIDs, Purchase DIDs, List purchased DID, Unsubscribe from purchased DIDs.

API Authentication

Each API access call must be authenticated. In this API , there are 3 (three) HTTPS parameters are required to be supplied to verify the authenticity of the API caller:

Parameter name: “ts”, value: current unix timestamp of the call.
Parameter name: “api_login”, value: your buyer login in TCXC.
Parameter name: “signature”, value: signature of the request which is a SHA256 hash of the concatenated string of the controller name, the API key is generated from TCXC portal under preferences option, the TCXC buyer login and the string value of the unxi timestamp associated with the request.

Generating signature (PHP example):

$signature = hash( 'sha256', $controller .  $api_key   . $api_login  . $ts);

Sample Signature Error API Response:

:{
    "error": "Wrong signature",
    "status": "fail"
}

If you have any issues with this secure API Authentication method, please contact us.

API Parameters

Are to be supplied as HTTP POST/GET parameters.

Is provided in JSON format. Each call returns “status” parameter indicating either “success” or “error” for the requested operation and “message” containing human readable description of the operation status. Response may contain other parameters depending on the call.

Example with success:

{
    "status": "success",
    "message": "DID entry has been updated."
}

Example with errors:

{
    "status": "error",
    "message": "This DID can not be purchased, it has been already sold"
}

server_output:{
    "status": "error",
    "message": "There was an error."
}
