Use it to resolve any `pending` purchase. Calling this endpoint also re-sends a `transaction.requery` webhook (if you have a webhook URL configured) carrying the same status. `transaction_type` is one of `AIRTIME`, `DATA`, `CABLE_TV`, `ELECTRICITY`. `previous_balance` / `new_balance` are the wallet balance before and after the debit. | HTTP | `status` | `status_code` | Meaning | |---|---|---|---| | 200 | `successful` | 200 | Transaction completed | | 202 | `pending` | 202 | Still processing — poll again or wait for your webhook | | 400 | `error` | — | Bad payload or missing `request_ref` | | 401 | — | — | Missing, invalid or revoked API key | | 403 | `error` | — | Reference exists but belongs to another account (body identical to 404) | | 404 | `error` | — | No transaction with that reference | | 424 | `failed` | 424 | Transaction failed — wallet was refunded | Reference: https://docs.vtuagent.com/api-reference/vtu-agent-consumable-api/transaction/query-transaction-status ## Authentication - `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — API key issued from the VTUAgent dashboard, sent as `Authorization: Bearer {your_api_key}`. ## Request ### Body (application/json) This endpoint expects a TransactionStatusRequest. - `request_ref` (string, required) — The reference you sent when purchasing. ## Response ### 200 Transaction completed - `status` (enum, required) - Allowed values: `successful`, `pending`, `failed` - `status_code` (enum, required) — Always equals the HTTP status. - Allowed values: `200`, `202`, `424` - `message` (string, required) - `reference` (string, required) - `data` (TransactionStatusResponseData, required) ### 202 Still processing — poll again or wait for your webhook - `status` (enum, required) - Allowed values: `successful`, `pending`, `failed` - `status_code` (enum, required) — Always equals the HTTP status. - Allowed values: `200`, `202`, `424` - `message` (string, required) - `reference` (string, required) - `data` (TransactionStatusResponseData, required) ## Errors ### 400 Bad Request Error Invalid payload or missing request_ref - `status` (enum, required) - Allowed values: `error` - `message` (string, required) - `error` (string, optional) — Validator detail, present only on validation failures. ### 401 Unauthorized Error Missing, invalid or revoked API key.
