API Reference

The Recharge API is primarily a REST API with some RPC endpoints to support common operations. It has predictable, resource-oriented URLs, accepts JSON-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and methods.

API and Platforms compatibility

Recharge offers hosted solutions and integrates with various ecommerce platforms to process recurring transactions with the setup of your choice. In order to be compatible with those platforms some of our API resources and endpoints may be limited in use to a subset of platforms. When that is the case we will flag with the help of tags the checkout/platform association for which that feature is compatible.
When there is no restriction of compatibility no tags will appear.
Below is a legend of the tags you may come across:


Tag Checkout solution Ecommerce platform
BigCommerce Recharge hosted BigCommerce
Custom Recharge hosted or API-first Custom
RCS Recharge hosted Shopify
SCI Shopify hosted Shopify

You may also come across other tags specifying regional restrictions (e.g. USA Only) or new releases (e.g. Alpha, Beta).

Authentication

Recharge uses API keys to authenticate requests.

Each request to the API should contain an API token in the following header:

X-Recharge-Access-Token:store_api_token

Replace store_api_token with your API key.

All requests must be made over HTTPS.


API Token Scopes

Scopes can be set up from the API token edit page in Recharge to control the level of access of an API token.

The API currently supports the scopes below:

Write Read
read_accounts
write_batches read_batches
write_customers read_customers
write_discounts read_discounts
read_events
write_notifications
write_orders read_orders
write_payment_methods read_payment_methods
write_products read_products
write_subscriptions read_subscriptions
read_store
read_credit_accounts
read_credit_adjustments
GET /
curl -i -H 'X-Recharge-Access-Token: your_api_token'
-X GET

Versioning

All requests will use your account API settings, unless you send a X-Recharge-Version header to specify the version.
You can use the same token to make calls to all versions. When no version is specified it will default to the default version on your store.

Responses

Recharge uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided ( e.g. a required parameter was omitted, a charge failed, etc ), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with Recharge’s servers.

200 - OK: Everything worked as expected.
201 - OK: The request was successful, created a new resource, and resource created is in the body.
202 - OK: The request has been accepted and is in processing.
204 - OK: The server has successfully fulfilled the request and there is no content to send in the response body.
400 - Bad Request: The request was unacceptable, often due to a missing required parameter.
401 - Unauthorized: No valid API key was provided.
402 - Request Failed: The parameters were valid but the request failed.
403 - The request was authenticated but not authorized for the requested resource (permission scope error).
404 - Not Found: The requested resource doesn’t exist.
405 - Method Not Allowed: The method is not allowed for this URI.
406 - The request was unacceptable, or requesting a data source which is not allowed although permissions permit the request.
409 - Conflict: You will get this error when you try to send two requests to edit an address or any of its child objects at the same time, in order to avoid out of date information being returned.
415 - The request body was not a JSON object.
422 - The request was understood but cannot be processed due to invalid or missing supplemental information.
426 - The request was made using an invalid API version.
429 - The request has been rate limited.
500 - Internal server error.
501 - The resource requested has not been implemented in the current version but may be implemented in the future.
503 - A 3rd party service on which the request depends has timed out.

Extending responses

Our API endpoints and webhooks allow developers to extend responses with additional data in order to optimize calls, allowing for simpler and more efficient implementations.

The API supports including additional objects when using a GET request to retrieve a list or a GET request to retrieve a record by a specific id. This is achieved by using an include query parameter in the request URL. The include value contains the object or objects you want to include in the response of your request. On routes where multiple includes are available, you are able to pass multiple values separated by a comma (include=customer,metafields). The below table defines available include values for commonly used resources of the API.

Webhooks support included_objects on the topics listed below. Webhook included_objects accepts an array of supported values ("included_objects": [ "customer", "metafields"]). Specifying included_objects will return an enriched payload, containing the original resource and the associated included objects.

When including charge_activities in API calls or webhooks, note that only the last 90 days of activities will be included in the response.

Cursor Pagination

By default, calls for a list of objects will return 50 results. Using the limit parameter, that can be increased to 250 results per response.

When there are more results than the current limit a cursor may be used to request additional results.

The next_cursor and previous_cursor attributes are are included in all list responses.

To request the next set of results, find the next_cursor in the list response and include it in the url with the cursor parameter e.g. GET https://api.rechargeapps.com/subscriptions?limit=250&cursor=<next_cursor>

To request the previous set of results, find the previous_cursor in the list response and include it in the url with the cursor parameter e.g. GET https://api.rechargeapps.com/subscriptions?limit=250&cursor=<previous_cursor>


Retrieving total number of records

Starting with the 2021-11 version of the API, you will not be able to retrieve a count of total records for a given GET request. If you are building a UI page that allows end users to paginate through result sets (such as paginating through a list of orders or subscriptions), we recommend that your pagination implementation allow users to go to the next and previous page of results (as opposed to allowing users to jump to specific page in the results). This aligns well with the previous_cursor and the next_cursor fields included in all list responses.

Example Request
URL="https://api.rechargeapps.com/charges?limit=5"

response=$(curl -s -w "%{http_code}"\ 
    -H 'X-Recharge-Access-Token: your_api_token' \ 
    -H 'X-Recharge-Version: 2021-11' \    -X GET $URL)

content=$(sed '$ d' <<< "$response") # get all but the last line which contains the status code

# Display results
echo $content | jq "."

# parse next url
echo "Next URL"
next_cursor=$(jq ".next_cursor" <<< "${content}")

# Notice next_cursor value is passed as page_info query param
echo "$URL&page_info=$next_cursor"

Sorting

The API supports sorting of results when using a GET request to retrieve a list. Sorting is achieved using a sort_by query parameter in the request URL. The sort_by value contains the parameter and sort direction for your results (ascending or descending), and available sort_by values vary between resources. The below table defines available sort_by options for commonly used resources.


Resource Supported sort_by_values
Address Default: id-desc

SCI

RCS

A bundle selection represents the contents within a Bundle linked to an individual Subscription. It can represent the selection for upcoming orders or past orders. A BundleSelection is associated with a corresponding Subscription and a BundleVariant (the BundleVariant is used to validate contents in the selection). When a new order for the associated Subscription occurs, it will extract the current contents of the BundleSelection for the Bundle item in the order.

Charges

A charge is the representation of a financial transaction linked to the purchase of an item (past or future). It can be a transaction that was processed already or the representation of an upcoming transaction. A Charge is linked to its corresponding Orders (one Order for pay as you go subscriptions and several for pre-paid). Orders are created once the corresponding Charge is successful. After successful payment, the first Order will be immediately submitted to the external platform if applicable (e.g. Shopify, BigCommerce).

Credits

Retain

The Credit Account object represents a set of positive and negative credit adjustments that when summed equal an available balance. Credit accounts may not have negative balances. A credit account may be associated with a customer, via the customer_id attribute. A customer may be associated with many credit accounts.

A credit adjustment represents a financial adjustment to the balance of a Credit Account. An adjustment of type ‘credit’ results in an increase in the available balance of a credit account, where an adjustment of type ‘debit’ results in a decrease.

Access to the Credits endpoints are only available for merchants using Retain.

Discounts

Discounts can be applied to a Checkout, or can be applied directly to an Address. Depending on configuration they allow for single use, or recurring discounts. More details on how to add or remove discounts from an Address can be found at Update an address.

Often discounts can be used in combination with webhooks, such that when a specific event occurs, it can apply a discount dependent on custom business logic.

There are various options that can be utilized for discounts such as minimum price, single use, recurring for a set number of charges, or ongoing. You can also set the date from which time the discount will become applicable and when it can no longer be applied to a new subscription.

Webhook endpoints

Webhooks are a mechanism for reacting to specific events that are triggered in the Recharge system.
For example, a checkout completion, a customer activation or subscription cancellation. Webhooks will deliver you the data of the specific event in real-time. This data can be used to custom code logic behind automated subscription management, dashboards creation, discounts applying…

When a webhook is triggered, the payload will be identical to the payload you would receive from another API endpoint.

For example, a webhook on subscription/created will be identical to the payload for retrieving a subscription by ID from the Recharge API.

There are a lot of things that can be done via Webhooks: It can be used to collect all kinds of data from our API and then create a custom Dashboard to show how much and when your customers are buying in real time, or use all this data to do Analytics of some kind in order to create a better customer experience. Webhooks can be used as a “Trigger” on your backend to update subscription products.

If you have some kind of a Subscription where you want to change the Product that the customer gets every month, you can do it by waiting for an order/created webhook on your backend, and when it fires you can make an API call to change the Product of that subscription or the next shipping date, etc.

Retries / Idempotency


Due to webhook retries, it’s possible that your application receives the same webhook more than once. Ensure idempotency of the webhook call by detecting such duplicates within your application.


Respond to a webhook



Your webhook acknowledges that it received data by sending a 200 OK response. Any response outside of the 200 range will let Recharge know that you didn’t receive your webhook. Recharge has implemented a 5 second time-out period. We wait 5 seconds, if our system doesn’t get a response in that period we consider that request as failed. Our system will try 20 times to send the same webhook over the next 2 days, if the request fails every time our system will delete this webhook. At this moment our system is logging those deleted webhooks.

app/uninstalled This will trigger when you uninstall OAuth app on your store.
recharge/uninstalled This will trigger when Recharge is uninstalled.
store/updated This will trigger when and update has been made to the store.

Webhook validation

Webhooks created through the API can be verified by calculating a digital signature. Each Webhook request includes an X-Recharge-Hmac-Sha256 header which is generated using the API Client Secret, along with the data sent in the request.

API Client Secret is not the same as your API token and it can be found at:
Recharge Dashboard—>Integrations—>API Tokens—>Click on your token
Edit API Token page will appear and there you will find API Client Secret

The request_body must be in JSON string format. Validation will fail even if one space is lost in process of JSON string generation.

Then use code similar to the example by adapting it to the programming language that you are using for your project.

Example Request:

Async batch Endpoints

The Async batches API can be used for processing large volumes of operations asynchronously, in order to reduce aggregate processing time and network traffic when interacting with many unique objects. For example, a user can leverage async_batches to create 1000 discounts with only 3 API requests.

As shown in the diagram below, the necessary steps to create and process a batch are:

1. Create an async_batch with the desired batch_type

2. Add tasks (individual operations) to your batch. You can add up to 1,000 tasks with each request, up to 10,000 tasks per batch.

3. Submit the batch for processing. Until a batch is submitted for processing, no tasks are attempted.

4. You may retrieve the batch to view progress details while it processes, or register for the async_batch/processed webhook to receive immediate notification of batch completion.

5. Page through the tasks in the batch to view results of each completed or failed task.
