RabbitPay Documentation

The RabbitPay API uses API keys to authenticate every request. Keys are created in the Dashboard and scoped per environment (test / live).

Base URL

https://api.rabbitpay.ai/v1

All requests must be made over HTTPS. Plain HTTP requests are refused.

Bearer token

Pass your secret key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header:

curl https://api.rabbitpay.ai/v1/checkout/sessions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key"

Key types

Type	Prefix	Where to use
Publishable	`pk_test_...` / `pk_live_...`	Browser-side (`js.rabbitpay.ai`)
Secret	`sk_test_...` / `sk_live_...`	Server-side only
Restricted	`rk_live_...`	Scoped keys for specific endpoints

Rotate any key that is committed to source control immediately from the Dashboard → Developers → API Keys → Roll.

Restricted keys

Restricted keys let you scope access to specific resources (e.g. read-only access to orders). Create them from Dashboard → Developers → Restricted keys.

{
  "name": "Analytics warehouse",
  "scopes": [
    "orders:read",
    "checkout_sessions:read",
    "refunds:read"
  ]
}

Idempotency

All mutating requests (POST, PATCH, DELETE) accept an Idempotency-Key header. Sending the same key within 24 hours returns the original response instead of creating a duplicate resource.

curl https://api.rabbitpay.ai/v1/refunds \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: refund-order-8471" \
  -d '{ "order_id": "ord_01H8Z...", "amount": 100000 }'

Errors

RabbitPay returns standard HTTP status codes plus a JSON error body:

{
  "error": {
    "type": "invalid_request_error",
    "code": "missing_field",
    "message": "customer.phone is required",
    "param": "customer.phone",
    "request_id": "req_01HABC..."
  }
}

Status	Meaning
`200`	Success
`201`	Created
`400`	Invalid request
`401`	Missing or invalid API key
`403`	API key lacks the required scope
`404`	Resource not found
`409`	Idempotency conflict
`422`	Business rule violation
`429`	Rate limited
`5xx`	RabbitPay error — safe to retry
