Tulipe API Platform Wiki
Tulipe Platform
The Tulipe Platform is built on top of Tulipe. It is built to allow other software programs such as websites, mobile and desktop applications to interact with Tulipe. An API stands for Application Programming Interface. It allows software systems to interact with each other.
Sandbox Environment
The sandbox environment will be available By the end of January 2009. It will allow you to test Tulipe and give feedback on what you will see.
List of APIs
The Tulipe Platform exposes the following APIs
If you have a website that sells services or collects donations, then this API is for you. The Integration API allows Businesses who have websites and want their users to make payments for goods or services. It works in 3 simple steps.
a) A User selects the good / service / bill they want to pay for from your websites
b) They are redirected to Tulipe where they make the payment
c) They are (optionally) redirected back to your website
In actual sense, this process is not as simple, some data has to be exchanged between Tulipe and your website. This data faciliates a smooth checkout process and payment realization. Hence this API is also called the Checkout API.
This API does not require authentication, unlike the other APIs, this is because the user is in total control of the process. Access to this API is secured by use of Digital Signatures and RSA Encryption. All other APIs require Authentication. The OAuth framework is used to authenticated these applications
Payments API
This API allows access to the user's payments. It also allows the application to initiate payment requests to the user and also to make payments on behalf of the user. A typical step would be to first use the Accounts API to list the user's accounts then use the Payments API to make a payment for or against one of those accounts.This API requires Authentication.
