Confirming a request will create an executable order request for the customer within our system.

It is highly recommended that you require the customer to input some sort of security key (i.e. pin, OTP, etc…) before making the POST request to confirm an order request.

​
Creating an order request

Make a POST request to /requests

  curl --request GET \
    --url https://api.staging.pipevest.com/v1/ussd/requests?customerId=123456&symbol=AAPL&orderType=PURCHASE
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer 123456' \
    --header 'Content-Digest: sha-512=:RK/0qy18MlBSVnWgjwz6lZEWjP/lF5HF9bvEF8FabDg=:' \
    --header 'Content-Length: 18' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'Signature: sig1=:OTEyMjY4...A5NTNDMEQ=:' \
    --header 'Signature-Input: sig1=("Authorization" "Content-Digest" "Content-Length" "Content-Type" "X-Client-Id" "X-Idempotency-Key" "@method" "@target-uri" "@path" "@query");keyid="staging-pipevest-ed25519";created=1732893484;expires=1732893584' \
    --header 'X-Client-Id: 123456' \
    --header 'X-Idempotency-Key: 123456' \
    ...
    --data '{"amount": 100 }'
