Submit documents by sending a POST request to the /documents resource path. After successful submission, the location of the new document is returned in the Location header.

Info

Please note that we reject and don’t process files with wrong format or bad quality. In this case we return 400 error in the response message.

The Gini Pay API currently supports two different variants of uploads, one optimized for web applications running in a web browser and the other for all other types of clients. The first variant optimized for web applications expects the documents to be uploaded using a multipart/form-data encoding method. The second variant for all other clients simply uses the request body (independent of the request Content-Type) as the document.

In case you want to submit a parsed QR code, please use application/vnd.gini.v1.partial+qr+json. The parsing of the QR field fields is optional. The paymentdata needs to contain the iban and paymentRecipient keys, but the values can be empty. See the at least the iban and the paymentRecipient keys. Hence, the minimal valid QR code body could be the following:

Code Block
languagejson
{
  "qrcode": "bank://singlepaymentsepa?name=Gini%20Online%20Shop&reason=A12345-6789&iban=DE89370400440532013000&bic=GINIBICXXX&amount=47%2C65&currency=EUR",
  "paymentdata": {

    "paymentRecipient": "Telekom GmbH"
