Approve an authorization


Approve an authorization

POST / v1 / issuing / authorizations /:id / approve

[Deprecated] Approves a pending Issuing Authorization object. This request should be made within the timeout window of the real-time authorization flow. This method is deprecated. Instead, respond directly to the webhook request to approve an authorization.

Parameters

  • amount integer If the authorization’s pending_request.is_amount_controllable property is true, you may provide this value to control how much to hold for the authorization. Must be positive (use decline to decline an authorization request).
  • metadata map Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to metadata.

Returns

Returns an approved Issuing Authorization object.
