AirTM API: How to Build a Form?

[FarrisFahad]

Hello,

I am somewhat new to APIs. I have integrated PayPal payments successfully. With PayPal, I can send the user to the payment page using an HTML form. Here is an example ...

<!-- PAYPAL -->
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="POST" name="_cart">
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart" />
    <input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1" />
    <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1" />
    <input type="hidden" name="business" value="" />
    <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" />
    <input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="" />
    <input type="hidden" name="amount_1" id="amount" value="1.00" />
    <input type="hidden" name="custom" value="" />
    <input type="hidden" name="return" value="" />
    <input type='hidden' name='notify_url' value="">
    <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="" />
    <input type="submit" class="submit" value="Deposit Money Via PayPal">
</form>
<!-- PAYPAL -->

I want to do the same thing for AirTM. Here is their developer page: https://docs.airtm.com/purchases-payins/create-purchase

I am not sure where to include the Header information.

Can you help?

You cannot safely use a form to post directly to AirTM. Post to your own PHP script, which can then use curl to make the request, including headers.

I can see that the URL that you linked me to has 4 steps to create a purchase.

The first one is to create a Purchase via an HTTP POST request. That can be done with a cURL request. cURL requests require some backend programming such as via PHP or some other language. Are you using a server-side language to write your web app? If so, which one so we can better assist you? If not, you cannot use this API.

You can choose PHP in the dropdown above the sample code. That way you can see what your PHP should contain.
