API Reference
Cards API
The cards API allows you to securely store payment card details in exchange for a card token. This card token can then be used to create a single charge with the charges API or to create multiple charges over time using the customers API.
Each card object has a property called primary, which
says whether the card is the customer’s primary card. Its value is
true if the card is its customer’s primary card,
false if it is a non-primary card of its customer, and
null if it is not associated with a customer record.
A card token can only be used once, to create either a charge or a customer. If no charge or customer is created within one month, the token is automatically expired.
POST /cards
Securely stores a card’s details and returns its token and other information.
There are two ways of authenticating when using this API to store card details:
- In your secure environment, by using HTTP basic access authentication with one of your secret API keys.
- In an insecure environment, such as a web browser or mobile application, by using one of your publishable API keys.
This API supports JSONP.
