Testing

To test the Request Finance API with your application, you can use your “Test” API key when making requests. You can find your “Test” API key in the "Developer" tab in “Settings”.

Invoices that you create using your “Test” API key will be persisted on the Sepolia Testnet (a testing network for Ethereum). You can see and interact with them in our sandbox: https://baguette-app.request.finance/. Use your existing credentials to access your sandbox account.

API keys are not recommended for a live application and will be deprecated. Follow the steps in Going Live instead.

Payments

To test paying an invoice or a payroll payment without spending real tokens, you can use ETH on Sepolia Testnet. You can get some using a faucet online and your wallet address.

Make sure to create invoices and payroll payments with ETH on Sepolia as a payment method.

Since the account that issued the invoice cannot be the account that pays the invoice, you will need to create another Request Finance account for the buyer role.

Test ERC20 tokens

To test stablecoin payments on Sepolia, we use FAU as a DAI-pegged testnet token. You can mint some FAU tokens by calling use the mint function of the FAU smart contract:

mint function of the FAU smart-contract

  • Fill up the to (address) field with the address of your wallet (you can find it on top of your Metamask window)

  • Insert 10000000000000000000000 for the value (uint256). This is equivalent to 10000 FAU (with 18 decimals after that).

  • Click Write, confirm the transaction in Metamask

💡 If you don’t see your FAU on Metamask:

  • Click on “Don’t see your token? Import tokens”

  • Click on “Add custom token” and paste FAU contract address: 0x370de27fdb7d1ff1e1baa7d11c5820a324cf623c

Postman Collection

You can find a Postman collection of the Request Finance API here. Feel free to use it to test the API.
