Getting started
The Commissions Report API is accessed via the URL https://api.na.bambora.com/v1/reports/commissions .
In addition, you will need to use your Merchant ID and Reporting API Access Passcode from your Bambora Channel Partner account. See the "Authentication" section below for more details on how to generate your access passcode to use in the request to the Merchant Report API.
API requests
Requests to the merchant endpoint should include two request headers: a Content-type
header with the value application/json
and a Authorization
header which is outlined in the next section.
All requests to the Merchant Report require authentication in the form of an Authorization
header. This header contains the value Passcode <YOUR API ACCESS PASSCODE>
which is an encoded version of your Merchant ID and your Reporting API Access Passcode. Note that your Reporting API Access Passcode can be found in the Portal under administration > account settings > order settings.
<YOUR API ACCESS PASSCODE>
is created by concatenating your Merchant ID to your Reporting API Access Passcode (separated by a colon), and then base 64 encoding the result.
As an example, if your Merchant ID is 123456789, and your Reporting API Passcode is fd36d245a3584434b904096525547f17
, then using Javascript your API Access Passcode could be generated by doing:
merchantID = "123456789";
reportingAPIPasscode = "fd36d245a3584434b904096525547f17";
// base 64 encode the two values concatenated with a colon
yourAPIAccessPassCode = btoa(merchantID + ":" + reportingAPIPasscode);
In this example yourAPIAccessPassCode
would be MTIzNDU2Nzg5OmZkMzZkMjQ1YTM1ODQ0MzRiOTA0MDk2NTI1NTQ3ZjE3
which is the value used when making a call to the Merchant Report API.
Alternatively, for convenience, you can also use the form which does the same calculation.
It is worth noting that while this process obfuscates/obscures your Reporting API Passcode it is not an encrypted value, so this value should be treated with equal sensitivity/security as your Reporting API Passcode itself.
The Commissions Report can accept parameters to control the data returned by the endpoint: commissions
, which is supplied as part of the URL
If no parameters are passed the data returned will be for all the commissions of the Channel Partner requesting the report.
An example request to get commission passing with parameters is illustrated below. All parameters are optional.
Request
curl --location --request GET 'https://api.na.bambora.com/v1/reports/commissions/?report_days=180&from_date=2022-09-14&to_date=2022-12-14&filter_by=status&filter_value=approved&start_row=1&end_row=4&version=2' \
--header 'Authorization: Passcode <YOUR API ACCESS PASSCODE>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
If you wish to retrieve information for all of your commissions then the request would be:
curl --location --request GET 'https://api.na.bambora.com/v1/reports/commissions' \
--header 'Authorization: Passcode <YOUR API ACCESS PASSCODE>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
