Sample Request:

Python

import requests

# Define the API endpoint URL

url = 'https://uat-businessapi.spenn.com/api/Partner/transaction/request'

# Define the request headers

headers = {  
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',  
    'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJhbG...NrEQ41w'  # Replace with your actual bearer token  
}

# Define the request payload (request body) as a dictionary

payload = {  
    "phoneNumber": "[phone]",  
    "amount": 10,  
    "message": "Please send some money",  
    "externalReference": "sasd23xfhaxfasdfa2342"  
}

# Make the POST request

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)

# Check the response

if response.status_code == 200:  
    print("Success! Response:")  
    print(response.json())  
else:  
    print(f"Request failed with status code {response.status_code}")  
    print(response.text)
