Configure your credentials
Important
In 2025, Redelcom will operate as Mercado Pago. Therefore, you must migrate your integration to our ecosystem to continue operating in the future. Consult
our documentation
to know how to migrate your API integration to Order API, te equivalent Mercado Pago solution.
You can generate payment requests on Redelcom terminals using our API.
To start integrating via API, you should have the credentials that were provided to you by email when you requested the device. These credentials will help you generate the token required to operate with Redelcom via API.
Important
Please note that these credentials, initially provided when requesting the device, must be used in test environments. To obtain your productive credentials you must, first, carry out an
homologation of your integration
. At the end of this process, our sales team will contact you to grant these production credentials to you.
Your Redelcom credentials consist of:
| Type | Description |
| clientId | It is a unique numerical identifier of the client in the Redelcom system. |
| Secret | It is the password associated with the client within the Redelcom system. |
Once you have your unique credentials, you need to perform encryption, which will allow you to obtain the token required to operate with our API. Below, we provide a Postman pre-script to show you how to do it:
javascript
// get path with query params
const path = pm.request.url.getPath().replace("/redelcom","");
let queryParam;
let httpPath = path;
if (pm.request.url.query != "") {
pm.request.url.query.all().forEach((param) => queryParam = param.key + "=" + param.value);
httpPath += "?" + queryParam;
}
console.log("httpPath: " + httpPath);
// execute algorithm
const SECRET_KEY = pm.collectionVariables.get("secret");
const body = pm.request.body
const message = httpPath + "," + body;
console.log("message: " + message);
const token = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.stringify(CryptoJS.HmacSHA256(message, SECRET_KEY));
console.log("token: " + token);
pm.environment.set("X-Authentication", pm.collectionVariables.get("clientId") + ";" + token);Once you've performed the encryption, you will get your token, named X-Authentication. This token should be used in the headers of API requests.
