Merchant SessionId Request¶
In order to retrieve user data through a QR code the following are required:
- SessionId
- Authorization Token (Read here on how to obtain)
Getting a SessionId from the QR code
- Scan the QR Code: Use a QR code scanner or an optical reader to read the QR code.
- Extract the string: Extract the string contained in the QR code.
- Verify the string: Verify that the string starts with "VisLeg". If not then disgard.
You should now have a valid SessionId that should look something like this: "VisLeg-9fa44f41-ce68-4f03-bc1a-498b00cf5fec
".
Example of a genuine QR code
Retrieving user data using SessionId and Authorization Token¶
Example Request
POST https://visleg-test-merchantservice-cnhvehb0cvdgggah.z01.azurefd.net/api/merchant/session
&Authorization=Bearer <AuthorizationToken>
&Payload={"SessionId": "<SessionId>"}
Example response
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
{
"id": "string",
"firstName": "string",
"lastName": "string",
"documentPhoto":"string",
"age": int
}
The response will only return the data the merchant has a need for. If a merchant only needs Age of a user, the rest of the fields will be empty.
If a Merchant has occassions where more or less data is required for certain transactions, this should be done by changing Scope when getting an Authorization Token read more here.
