makiika / Step 1: Create API User.MD
Created August 4, 2022 19:27 — forked from chaiwa-berian/Step 1: Create API User.MD
Testing MTN MoMo Collection API in Sandbox using Postman

A. Checklist

  • To create an API User, you need the following things in place: X-Reference-Id and Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key

1. X-Reference-Id

  • This is used as User ID since the Sandbox is a Mock Environment so we kinda create our own ids and send them over to the sandbox so it can uniquely identify the user
  • Get the value for this here: https://www.uuidgenerator.net/api/version4
  • Remember to keep this safely as we will use it when configuring our POST request
  • Lets say you have your X-Reference-Id as: 9f92971b-cd2e-4feb-9053-0b14d53ac4f5

2. Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key

  • Get this from the Primary or Secondary Key of your Collections | Enable remote collection of bills, fees or taxes subscription.
