Konfipay is the new online payment service by German software producer windata which allows its users to maintain safe payment transactions nationally as well as internationally with all German and numerous European credit institutions.
Based on the “REST” programming paradigm, the API konfipay uses is an application to process all kinds of payments within regular bank accounts and PayPal accounts as well.
The API uses HTTP as transfer protocol and is able to make use of either XML or Json for data transfers with XML being the specific data format for SEPA transactions. Konfipays API may not only be used for bank accounts but also for PayPal, to be more precise, to induce refunds and supervise the accounts balances and transaction protocols. It allows for the encoded transfer of payments via SEPA, DTAZV & ISO20022 and their supervision via camt & MT940.
In general, konfipay enables to entirely integrate cashflows in the accounting and to execute payment actions for respective accounts.
To make use of the API one has to pass the authentication meaning the only part of the webservice which is being represented by an interface with public access. To do so, the users have to insert the so called universally unique identifier (UUID), a number of 32 digits which identifies the respective client or company, their e-mail address and password. After this information being transferred via POST-request, there are two possible ways for the users to finally authenticate themselves, namely a cookie- and a token based mechanism. Either way, the then received cookie or token has to be inserted within 30 minutes to get access to konfipays services, meaning the users then are able to induce SEPA payments or to have a look at former payments and their current status.
Via the API it is further possible to add new accounts or to respectively erase already existing ones.
An imaginable scenario concerning konfipays API is a compound with an API which determines goods prices due to supply and demand, allowing for autonomous purchases within auctions.
