Maast offers two main APIs that allow access to our resources from within your app:
- Payment Gateway API - This supports submitting requests for authentication, payment, and many other common payments functions.
- Platform API - This includes endpoints for functions one can find in the Maast Manager portal, such as reporting, setting up account features, and managing customer information.
The Payment Gateway API is POST-based, and it mainly relies on a body payload to deliver data. The Platform API uses many GET-based endpoints and query parameters.
See About Our APIs in Guides for more information.
Base Paths
Our two main APIs use distinct base paths. See the base paths below:
| API | Test Base Path | Production Base Path |
|---|---|---|
| Payment Gateway | https://api-test.maast.com/pg | https://api.maast.com/pg |
| Platform | https://api-test.maast.com/platform | https://api.maast.com/platform |
All Payment Gateway requests use the Payment Gateway API base path. All other requests use the Platform API base path.
