Get token
Note
If authorized users will make purchases on your website, implement getting a token. If you plan to sell to unauthorized users, connect the Buy Button product.
You need to obtain a token to integrate with the payment UI. An access token is a string that identifies game, user, and purchase parameters.
Xsolla API uses basic access authentication. Specify your merchant ID as the username and the API key as the password.
URL to retrieve the token:
Copy
- curl
https://api.xsolla.com/merchant/v2/merchants/{merchant_id}/tokenYou can alter the HTTP POST request by including the parameters you want to pass on to the payment UI. Pass the information about the user in the parameters
user.id, user.name, and user.email of the Create token method.Note
For the
user.id parameter, use an identifier that users can remember and later use outside the game by themselves (e.g., when replenishing the game balance using push payments).
Both the request and the response are in JSON format.
Below you can find sample code of how to get a token in PHP with the help of Xsolla PHP SDK. If you are using another programming language, take a look at the CURL example by clicking on the CURL tab.
