BobPlus Africa APIs are RESTful and stateless. Your application communicates securely with our platform over HTTPS, using Bearer Token authentication. All data is exchanged in JSON format.
- 🔑 Authentication: Obtain a Bearer Token using your API credentials.
- 🔗 API Calls: Use endpoints to initiate payments, check statuses, and more.
- 🔄 Responses: Receive structured JSON responses for all operations.
Quickstart Checklist

- Test Endpoints: Use Postman, Curl, or your favorite language to try out the APIs.
- Integrate: Build your integration and go live!
