g2p_bank_rest_api Module#

Warning

Work in Progress: This document is actively being developed and updated. Content may be incomplete or subject to change.

This module extends the REST API functionalities of the OpenSPP system by providing endpoints specifically for managing bank details related to beneficiaries and/or programs.

Purpose:

The primary purpose of the g2p_bank_rest_api module is to expose bank-related data and operations through a standardized RESTful interface. This allows external systems, such as financial institutions or payment gateways, to interact with the OpenSPP platform and access or modify bank information.

Integration and Functionality:

This module builds upon the core functionalities provided by the following modules:

  • g2p_registry_rest_api: It leverages the base REST API infrastructure and authentication mechanisms provided by this module.

  • g2p_bank: This module depends on the data models and business logic related to bank details, which are defined and managed by the g2p_bank module.

Additional Functionality:

The g2p_bank_rest_api module introduces the following specific functionalities:

  • API Endpoints: It defines and implements REST API endpoints for operations such as:

    • Retrieving bank details for a specific beneficiary or program.

    • Updating bank information.

    • Potentially, verifying bank account details through integration with external services (depending on implementation).

Example Use Case:

Consider a scenario where a payment gateway needs to access the bank account details of a beneficiary to process a payment. The g2p_bank_rest_api module enables this by providing a secure and standardized API endpoint. The payment gateway can send a request to this endpoint with the necessary authentication and beneficiary identifiers, and the module would return the required bank information in a structured format (e.g., JSON).

Note: This documentation provides a general overview. Specific API endpoints, request/response formats, and authentication mechanisms are detailed in the API documentation generated by the g2p_registry_rest_api module.
