Getting Started with Shell Data & Reporting APIs

Introduction

Data And Reporting product consists of API's which provides details of transaction and invoice informations about shell cards. The Shell Card Transaction and Invoice API is REST-based and employs Basic authentication in Version 1 and Oauth authentication in Version 2 end points. The API endpoints accept JSON-encoded request bodies, return JSON-encoded responses and use standard HTTP response codes. All resources are located in the Shell Card Platform. The Shell Card Platform is the overall platform that encompasses all the internal Shell systems used to manage resources. All endpoints use the POST verb for retrieving, updating, creating and deleting resources in the Shell Card Platform. The endpoints that retrieve resources from the Shell Card Platform allow flexible search parameters in the API request body.

`adapter`	`Faraday::Adapter`	The Faraday adapter object passed by the SDK user for performing http requests
`timeout`	`Float`	The value to use for connection timeout. Default: 60
`max_retries`	`Integer`	The number of times to retry an endpoint call if it fails. Default: 0
`retry_interval`	`Float`	Pause in seconds between retries. Default: 1
`backoff_factor`	`Float`	The amount to multiply each successive retry's interval amount by in order to provide backoff. Default: 2
`retry_statuses`	`Array`	A list of HTTP statuses to retry. Default: [408, 413, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504, 521, 522, 524]

    username: 'Username',
    password: 'Password'
  ),
  bearer_token_credentials: BearerTokenCredentials.new(
    o_auth_client_id: 'OAuthClientId',
    o_auth_client_secret: 'OAuthClientSecret'
  ),
  environment: Environment::SIT
)
