Introduction

Welcome to Fond's Provider API documentation. This API is meant to be used by partners, acting as providers, to create and manage companies and users within the Fond platform.

If you wish to become a provider, please reach out to our product team.

Authentication

require 'faraday_middleware'

client = Faraday.new(url: 'https://api.fond.co') do |conn|
  conn.request :json
  conn.response :json, content_type: /\bjson$/
  conn.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
  conn.basic_auth('<API_KEY>', '<API_SECRET>')
end

client.get('/v1/companies/AAAA1234')

$ curl -u "<API_KEY>:<API_SECRET>" https://api.fond.co/v1/companies/AAAA1234

Replace <API_KEY> and <API_SECRET> with your own credentials.

Authentication to the API is performed via HTTP Basic Auth. Provide your API key as the username value and the API secret as the password value. All API requests must include the Authorization header.

Do not share your API credentials in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub or client-side code.

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.

Versioning

All endpoints are versioned, using vXX tags where XX indicates the version of the endpoint.

The version is specified as a prefix to an endpoint URI. It is possible to use different endpoint versions within the same codebase.

If we need to make breaking changes to an endpoint, we will create a new version of it. We will try to continue supporting older versions as much as possible.

Here are a few examples of what is considered a breaking change and will force us to create a new version of the endpoint:

• Changing an endpoints required parameters
• Removing a property from an endpoint response
• Changing a property's format in an endpoint response

Here are some examples of non-breaking changes:

• Adding an optional parameter to an endpoint
• Adding a property to an endpoint's response

When an endpoint version is no longer supported, the API will return 410 Gone status.

Dates and Times

All date and time properties will be formatted using the ISO 8601 standard.

Identifiers

In most cases our resource identifiers are represented as an UUID such as 1c143f90-6b76-4549-be9c-a755d6170ef9. So when storing them you should allocate 36 character strings.

Errors

API endpoints will use the following response format to return error codes and messages:

{
  "error": {
    "status": 400,
    "message": "A message describing the error."
  }
}

The Fond Provider API uses the following error codes:

Code	Status	Description
400	Bad Request	Your request is invalid.
401	Unauthorized	Your API credentials or token is invalid.
403	Forbidden	You don't have access to the requested resource.
404	Not Found	The specified resource could not be found.
410	Gone	The API endpoint version is no longer supported.
429	Too Many Requests	You're making too many requests. Slow down.
500	Internal Server Error	We had a problem with our server. Try again later.
503	Service Unavailable	We're temporarily offline for maintenance. Please try again later.

Webhooks

A Webhook is an HTTP POST callback. Fond’s API sends different events that may be useful for your application. These events are in JSON format, and you can use them to write logic on your side, send out notifications, generate reports, and more.

Configuring a Webhook

The webhook should be configured by contacting support@fond.co. The event will be sent to the URL that you have provided.

To confirm that you have received a webhook notification, your server must return an HTTP 200 status code. If the call fails, Fond will attempt to post the update again for a period of three days. The time between each retry is given below: 0: 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 15 seconds 1: 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 18 seconds 2: 0 days, 0 hours, 1 minutes, 35 seconds 3: 0 days, 0 hours, 9 minutes, 42 seconds 4: 0 days, 0 hours, 38 minutes, 39 seconds 5: 0 days, 1 hours, 54 minutes, 50 seconds 6: 0 days, 4 hours, 41 minutes, 3 seconds 7: 0 days, 10 hours, 0 minutes, 30 seconds 8: 0 days, 19 hours, 20 minutes, 47 seconds 9: 1 days, 10 hours, 37 minutes, 54 seconds Total: 2 days, 23 hours, 25 minutes, 33 seconds

Securing Your Webhook

Once your server is ready to receive payloads, it will listen for any payload sent to the endpoint you have configured. For security reasons, we suggest you limit requests only to those coming from Fond. Fond signs requests with a shared_secret. Your server should validate the request signature using the shared_secret provided by Fond.

Validating the Request

Example:

signature_base = [callback_url, timestamp, nonce, raw_body].join("\n")

comparing_signature = OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest(
  OpenSSL::Digest::SHA256.new,
  shared_secret,
  signature_base
)

Rack::Utils.secure_compare(signature, comparing_signature)

The signature hash is passed along the request in a header named X-Fond-Signature.

To validate the signature, compute a hash using the shared secret, a SHA256 digest, and a signature base combining the following parameters:

1. The exact URL string provided to Fond to post updates. It is very important to use the exact URL. Be careful to not add an additional /; otherwise, you won't be able to validate the signature.
2. The X-Fond-Timestamp provided in the request headers.
3. The X-Fond-Nonce provided in the request headers.
4. The request's raw body (JSON string), as it came from the network.

Once you identify those values, you will need to join them into a single string, with each of those values separated by a new line ("\n"). The resulting string will be used as a signature base.

You can attach a company to a corporation by providing the optional corporation_id parameter you get from creating a corporation.

If you don't provide your own point value using the points_per_dollar parameter, the company will be configured with a default rate of 50 points per dollar.

When the company's reserve wallet drops below the reserve_alert, an email will be sent to all company administrators asking them to add more points to their account. If an email is provided through reserve_bcc, the alert email will also be sent to that email address.

This sp_id or audience must be present in the saml2:Conditions tag within your SAML assertions, as shown to the right.
