Step 1: Create a company¶
Before you can do anything, you need to create a company. Nearly all API calls are performed on behalf of a company, including transactions. You must have at least one company but you can have several for separate asset flows.
The company sits on top of the hierarchy. Each company has a list of custodians (approvers) that approve all transactions regarding wallets within a company. You will learn this in more detail in the sections that follow.
To complete this step, you must: use the POST /company API resource to create a company. You must supply a name and a successful response returns the company_id. You will be needing this company_id value with the API calls in all steps that follow.
Your companies are not visible in Web app
The company is similar to an organization in the Qredo Web app. However, just like organizations are not visible in the API, the companies are not visible in the Web app.
Example request: POST /company¶
This example creates a company called "random_inc".
curl -X POST "https://api.qredo.network/api/v1/p/company"
Request body¶
name is required. All other parameters are optional. You can update any of these later, including the name.
{
"name": "random_inc",
"city": "<name of city, e.g. 'Paris'>",
"country": "<ISO 3166-1 country code, e.g. 'FR'>",
"domain": "randomincorporated.com",
"ref": "<a company reference ID, e.g. '9827feec-4eae-4e80-bda3-daa7c3b97add'>"
}
Example response: POST /company¶
Upon success, the response returns the company_id hash as a string value.
{
"company_id": "1va2cJ2pqdLSFAN5t1knBrnuMvw",
"city": "Paris",
"country": "FR",
"domain": "randomincorporated.com",
"ref": "9827feec-4eae-4e80-bda3-daa7c3b97add"
}
Pass company_id with most API calls
Save the company_id value to pass with all API calls in the steps that follow.
