Overview

Wyre offers a powerful JSON REST API that supports a range of financial, cryptocurrency, and identity services. It can move money around, broker exchanges, validate KYC/AML information, and transfer to/from traditional banking systems all while remaining compliant. We offer four sets of distinct API functionality:

Accounts: Manage balances and KYC data of individuals
Transfers: Move and exchange funds
Wallets: Track ledger balances within the main account
Payment Methods: Link external accounts for access to funds - banks, cards, etc.
Rates: Get up-to-date exchange rates

To foster a better development experience for our partners, we offer a test environment in addition to production. Any transfers made in the test environment will never hit the actual blockchain network or incur any fees.

JSON Interface

The Wyre API uses JSON objects within a REST-like URI and method structure. The HTTP methods GET, POST, and DELETE are used for querying, sending, and deleting, respectively.

Successful API responses will have a status of 200 if there is a payload, or 204 if there is not. Any status code 300 or greater indicates a problem occurred - see Errors for more information.

The following table defines the status codes you may receive from our API:

HTTP Status Code	Meaning
200	Successful, with response data as defined by the `Content-Type` header. Usually JSON
204	Successful, no response data
401	Failure. Access denied
400	Failure. There was a problem with your request
500	Failure. There was an unexpected problem with our system

During troubleshooting, please note that if your error response does not follow the previously mentioned format, the error is most likely due to a different endpoint.

Webhooks / Callbacks

As an alternative to polling, you may wish to receive realtime notifications when certain objects change. These can be created automatically when transfers are initiated, as well as directly for other kinds of objects by using the Subscribe Webhook endpoint.
