Balances

Description

Your balance will tell you how much money is available on your Instamoney account. You can retrieve it to see the current balance on your Instamoney cash account. Your balance is credited when money comes into your account, e.g. fixed virtual account are paid or you deposit funds. Your balance is debited on any money out transaction, e.g. when performing disbursements or Instamoney fees are charged.

Implementing Balances

Follow the steps below to implement our balances API.

You will have two account types: CASH (TRANSACTIONS in your dashboard) and HOLDING (IN TRANSIT in your Dashboard). To check each of the balances, you can GET this request.

• Curl
• PHP

curl https://api.instamoney.co/balance?account_type={account_type} -X GET \
 -u NIiHfL5xh+amlMdrKLZOTDSWYNGgodl6mXCy+Rxn/2TQ8LWnDgV1gQ==:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$options['secret_api_key'] = 'NIiHfL5xh+amlMdrKLZOTDSWYNGgodl6mXCy+Rxn/2TQ8LWnDgV1gQ==';

$instamoneyPHPClient = new InstamoneyClient\InstamoneyPHPClient($options);

$response = $instamoneyPHPClient->getBalance();
print_r($response);
?>

Testing Balances
