The official node package for interacting with the IDT Beyond API.

Getting started with IDT Beyond

To use this service, sign up for a free account at: IDT Beyond App Portal, or read the documentation at IDT Beyond App Portal.

Requirements

• npm

Setup your environment

1. Make sure above requirements are fulfilled. (see site documentation in links above)
2. run npm install idtbeyond --save to add this module to your project

Testing

Running npm test will run the unit tests with jasmine.

Using the IDTBeyond module

Include the IDTBeyond library:

var idtBeyondApi = require('idtbeyond');

Initialize the variable with your appID and appKey information:

var idtBeyondIatu = idtBeyondApi.initializeIatu(
	{
		appId: '<your-app-id>',
		appKey: '<your-app-key>', 
		termId: '<your-unique-term-id>'
	}
);

Each application has a unique appID and appKey. You can generate up to 5 keys per application, and they can be regenerated by you at any time. Make sure to use the correct ones, and update your code when new valid keys are generated.

The calls defined below require that the initialization of the idtBeyond object has been completed.

The recommended wait time for a topup response is 60 seconds.

Parameters

We have three ways of generating a clientTransactionId.

1. Your clientTransactionId is automatically generated by default using the generateClientTransactionId function.
2. You can manually pass one in on the request.
3. The server can generate one once it receives the request.

The response to the topup will return the "client_transaction_id". So if you use the auto-generated function, capture this response to use for transaction tracking.

Topups Reports (Quick Status)

Request:

idtBeyondIatu.toServiceNumberSearch({
	toServiceNumber: "0123456789"
}).then(function (result) { ... });

The result variable inside the then method's callback will contain the promise's result.

Response:

{
	"success": true,
	"transaction_data": {
		"balance": "0",
		"status": "Redeemed"
	}
}

When you submit a transaction, we do some very detailed handling to complete the request. The toServiceNumber is a tracking method used to follow the status of this request, including the balance of the transaction handoff to the carrier. Use this endpoint to get a quick update on the status of the request.

Parameters

Topups (Reverse)

Use this method to search for the status of a particular topup transaction, using the unique clientTransactionId you supplied in the request, and use the toServiceNumber.

Occasionally, a carrier will not be able to successfully complete a topup request. In this case, we will attempt to automatically reverse the transaction for you, and return the money into your account. In the case when this is not possible, you may need to request a reverse on the transaction that has a status of "status": "Not Redeemed".

The result variable inside the then method's callback will contain the promise's result.

Request:

idtBeyondIatu.reverseTopup({
	toServiceNumber: '2712345678',
	clientTransactionId: 'my-client-trans-id'
}).then(function (result) { ... });

Response:

{
   "success":true,
   "account_id":"12345678",
   "client_transaction_id":"my-client-trans-id",
   "transaction_id":"111222333",
   "to_service_number":"2712345678",
   "remaining_amount":0,
   "currency_symbol":"$",
   "currency_divisor":"100"
}
