Operations Services

Mobile token API is based on the concept of an “operation”. Operation is an activity that user needs to review and either approve or reject via the mobile token app. Each operation has a unique “operation ID” that can be used to obtain information about that particular operation and poll for the operation status.

Operations are created based on a “template” (registered in the system) that is filled with specific parameters. Template represents a type of an operation, parameters assign the particular operation properties. This way, you can create an operation, for example, for a payment (payment template, to initiate authorize_payment operation type) with a particular amount (passed in the parameters.amount and parameters.currency field).

Possible Error Codes

Error Code HTTP Status Code Description
ERROR_REGISTRATION_NOT_FOUND 400 Indicates that no registration is found for the provided user or the user does not have access to the registrations.
ERROR_OPERATION_NOT_FOUND 400 Indicates that an operation with the provided ID was not found.
ERROR_OPERATION_STATE_CHANGE 400 Indicates that the operation’s state does not allow the requested action, for example, cancelling an already expired operation.
ERROR_OTP_INVALID 400 Indicates a failure in OTP verification due to an invalid OTP format.
HTTP_401 401 Unauthorized access attempt. This occurs when invalid credentials are provided.
ERROR_INTERNAL_API 500 An internal server error occurred, potentially due to misconfiguration. Check your deployment configuration for errors.

get /v2/operations/{operationId}/offline/qr Get Operation QR Code (Offline Approval)

Get the QR code for an offline approval of the particular operation. The user scans the QR code with the mobile device, computes the OTP which is then validated via POST /v2/operations/{operationId}/offline/otp call. The call also returns the nonce value, which is required during the OTP code verification later.

Tip: Store the nonce value in the hidden form field on the page, next to the generated QR code and text field for the OTP input.

Request

Path Params
Param Type Description
operationId* UUID ID of an operation to obtain QR code for.
Query Params
Param Type Description
registrationId* String ID of registration for the device which is expected to read the QR code.

post /v2/operations/{operationId}/offline/otp Verify Operation OTP (Offline Approval)

Verify operation OTP for offline operation approval. After the user scans the QR code with operation data, the mobile authenticator prompts the user for an authentication and calculates the OTP code. The user then rewrites the OTP in the web browser, into a form that stores operation ID and nonce values.

Tip: The OTP code is accepted in the “credit card number” format of 4x4 digits separated by a dash (9301-7407-1055-2502), as well as 2x8 digits separated by a dash ( 93017407-10552502), or simply as 16 digits (9301740710552502).
