      Test & Live APIs

      The API Docs feature on the EMTECH platform provides access to the Regulatory Sandbox APIs, enabling organizations to test and integrate, for different service types. This feature supports both Test and Live APIs

      Accessing API Docs

      • From the left-hand navigation menu, click API Docs.

      • The Regulatory Sandbox APIs page will open, displaying two tabs:

        • Test APIs – to validate the API integration as readiness to apply to participate in the sandbox

        • Live APIs – for Live Sandbox integration, after your sandbox application has been approved by the Regulator for your product and the service type. 

      Exploring Test APIs

      • On the Test APIs tab, you can:

        • Search for specific APIs using the search bar.

        • Filter by service type (e.g., Crowdfunding, Microlending, Payment Services, Remittance, Virtual Assets etc.,).

      • The available APIs are displayed in cards, each with a short description and a View Documentation button.

        • Example categories:

          • Crowdfunding Compliance APIs – for data capture and reporting of crowdfunding activity.

          • Microlending Compliance APIs – for monitoring microlending transactions.

          • Payment Service APIs – for reporting payments in fiat or digital currency.

          • Virtual Assets APIs – for wallet providers, exchanges, or stablecoin issuers.

      Viewing API Documentation

      • Select View Documentation on any API card to access full technical details.

      • API documentation includes:

        • Base URL (e.g., https://api.emtech.com/integration)

        • Security requirements (JWT-based authentication with Bearer tokens).

        • How to create access tokens using client credentials (client ID & secret).

        • Endpoints and Schemas for data structures (e.g., account, campaign, events).

      This allows developers to test integrations and understand the expected data formats.

      Working with Live APIs

      • Navigate to the Live APIs tab for production-ready API documentation.

      • Available categories mirror the test environment but are connected to real data submissions for compliance reporting.

      • You will receive access to the Token keys, which are the credentials to access the Live APIs only after being approved by the regulator to participate in the Digital Regulatory Sandbox. 

      • Each API card also includes a View Documentation button with endpoints and security details for live use.

      Key Tips for Using APIs

      • Always begin integration in the Test APIs environment before moving to Live APIs.

      • Ensure you generate valid access tokens for authentication.

      • Review the Schemas carefully to match your system’s data to regulatory reporting requirements.

      • Use the search and filter tools to quickly locate relevant APIs for your business model (e.g., microlending or remittance).
