OxaPay Static Address API

Pronunciation: OK-suh-pay STA-tihk uh-DRES A-P-I

Definition

OxaPay Static Address API is an API interface concept that generates a reusable cryptocurrency address for a specified currency and network, linked to a unique tracking identifier. OxaPay Static Address API must define the resource or operation, HTTP method or invocation, path, authentication and authorization, request fields, response schema, errors, idempotency behavior, limits, and version. OxaPay Static Address API records must preserve identifiers, versions, timestamps, request and response evidence, exceptions, ownership, and the final technical and business outcome.

Overview

OxaPay Static Address API is an API interface concept that generates a reusable cryptocurrency address for a specified currency and network, linked to a unique tracking identifier. OxaPay’s Generate Static Address endpoint is authenticated with a Merchant API Key. A reusable address changes payment matching compared with a one-time invoice. Address receipt alone does not define commercial purpose or fulfillment eligibility. Merchants should map each track_id and address to a stable internal entity, display the exact supported network, and monitor payment events idempotently. They need rules for amount allocation, confirmations, late transfers, refunds, and address lifecycle. Observability for OxaPay Static Address API should record operation, version, principal, request ID, latency, retry count, error code, and final state without exposing secrets.

For OxaPay Static Address API, metrics should separate transport success from business success. OxaPay Static Address API records must preserve identifiers, versions, timestamps, request and response evidence, exceptions, ownership, and the final technical and business outcome. It creates an address for the requested currency and network and associates that address with a track_id that the merchant can store with its customer or business context. Multiple transfers can arrive over time, amounts may not correspond to one order, and network or memo requirements remain critical. For OxaPay Static Address API, the application should preserve a correlation path from request construction through response, asynchronous completion, and final business state. Testing OxaPay Static Address API should cover malformed input, denied access, rate limits, timeouts, duplicates, asynchronous completion, and version changes.

Regular reconciliation should compare received transfers with customer balances or orders.

Key Takeaway

OxaPay static addresses support reusable payment identity, but merchants must define allocation, network, confirmation, and reconciliation rules.
