Quickstart

This guide will get you all set up and ready to use the Cari Finance API. We'll cover how to get started using one of our API clients and how to make your first API request. We'll also look at where to go next to find all the information you need to take full advantage of our powerful REST API.

Choose your client

Before making your first API request, you need to pick which API client you will use. In addition to good ol' cURL HTTP requests, Cari Finance offers clients for JavaScript, Python, PHP, and Go. In the following example, you can see how to install each client.

# cURL is most likely already installed on your machine
curl --version

Making your first API request

After picking your preferred client, you are ready to make your first call to the Cari Finance API. Below, you can see how to send a GET request to the Charges endpoint to get a list of all your charges. In the cURL example, results are limited to ten charges, the default page length for each client.

curl -G https://api.cari.finance/charges \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pk_test_27436257e3fe4b0fa266f4a6f59047a3" \
  -d limit=10
