Introduction

The /transactions endpoint allows you to perform Create and Read, queries for a Loan Transaction Record by providing relevant information. This endpoint is accessible through either a GET or POST request and requires the use of a valid <api_key> for authentication purposes. TaskSuite will provide the appropriate key for Giggle Finance. Transactions is a sub-resource of loans, and loans are the top-level resource. There cannot be a transaction without an associated loan.

Authentication

To access this endpoint, you need to include the <api_key> in the header payload. The <api_key> serves as an authentication mechanism to ensure only authorized users can manipulate Loan Transaction Records.

Create a Loan Transaction Record

This endpoint is built with an assumption of a reflective procedure. Meaning that the TaskSuite API does not initiate the transactions, but rather reflects the status and result of transactions.
