Article Summary

This document provides information about the Payments Hub ISO20022 API sandbox environment and the values you can use there to test various operations.

The sandbox is dynamic and stores all made requests. You must first make a POST-type request to generate a payment and receive a Payments Hub ID for it. You can then use the GET-type requests to retrieve information with the same Payments Hub ID.

Authentication credentials

The following credentials can be used in the sandbox environment to retrieve an access token:

  • Client ID:

    qMkZ90qoHAN5InA6WlMaVAhN5t8AAeOx

Note

The sandbox Client ID can also be used in the sandbox as the value of the X-Santander-Client-Id header parameter for your API requests.

  • Client Secret:

    4EPA1MolP1ajyVeU

  • Predefined JSON Web Token (JWT) Bearer token:

eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6Ikh1YnRlc3RfcHJvX3NhbmRib3gifQ.eyJzdWIiOiJxTWtaOTBxb0hBTjVJbkE2V2xNYVZBaE41dDhBQWVPeCIsImlzcyI6IlNhbnRhbmRlciIsImlhdCI6MTY2MTMyNzQyNSwibmJmIjoxNjYxMzI3NDI1LCJleHAiOjE2OTI4NjM0MjUsImp0aSI6IjRmMjM0ZmIxLWM3ODAtNGVhNS05YmI5LTBkMTZiYzU3MmFmNyJ9.lz19moa2xSUeBoz4-55qF15CY_LU-1Vb7bh14Q1pGjqR7hEL3OdxK9-EnWSP4eDMivMZWTHOXbFTj9WcH0eiX1u7fNJVVhyWTUqvIfI5Qcpal2j2pQElLe9mv7bytMGPbDpK-9kNqkuNX4J_LB7qLZJtPwSbsFtICORpLrBeMHwqWLRnaFVOMuiMM14CXG31YaKNVphowthVA_21CuE0P5Tl5iIlJIx0MENoq_pbmQpFkuN0VlxW7gv9Zrqo44Vd4TtoZiF4uY-PgbT3JDnbEe5pRa7C4vF-LHrdgfpNW9fjW9kut-ZuyeEIH240t6emstsdtcFAC18TpZjo9HM3sw

You can also generate your own JWT Bearer tokens in the sandbox, but there are some prerequisites before doing so. For more information, see Authentication guide.

Payments Hub ISO20022 API POST requests

When making POST-type requests in the sandbox, note that:

  • The sandbox supports idempotency for POST-type requests, meaning that payment requests with the same message ID do not create duplicate payments. When sending a payment request with a new message ID, you receive an HTTP 201 Created response, and the response body contains the Payments Hub ID for the payment request. If you send another payment request with the same message ID, you receive an HTTP 200 OK response, and the response body contains the Payments Hub ID of the original payment request.

  • POST-type requests require an SCA JWT Bearer token whose hd claim must match the request body content. The tutorials and Postman collection contain predefined requests and matching SCA JWT Bearer tokens for testing purposes.

  • To test the functionality of payment requests rejected for different reasons, the sandbox has specific request body values that can be used in POST-type requests to generate rejections. The Postman collection uses these values in separate API requests. If you are not using the Postman collection, the tables in the following sections contain request body values that you can use in your POST-type requests to generate rejections.

Sandbox-specific request body values (FP)

The following table provides sandbox-specific request body values that can be used in Faster Payments (FP) POST-type requests to generate payment rejections.
