FazerCards Glossary
Gift card API
A REST API that lets a reseller programmatically order digital gift cards (Amazon, Steam, iTunes, etc.) at wholesale prices and receive the code back within seconds.
A gift card API is the integration layer between a reseller's storefront, bot, or backend and a wholesale supplier's catalog of digital gift cards. The reseller calls endpoints like GET /catalog to discover SKUs and POST /order to purchase a specific face value; the supplier debits wholesale price from the reseller balance and returns the activation code (or pushes it via webhook). FazerCards exposes its catalog at /api/v2 with X-Api-Key authentication and webhook delivery for asynchronous status changes.
Key facts
- Authentication is typically by API key, not OAuth, because the consumer is a backend not an end-user.
- Webhooks (order.completed / order.failed / order.refunded) are the standard pattern for asynchronous fulfillment.
- Wholesale price is below the face value — the gap is the reseller's gross margin.
- Idempotency keys prevent duplicate orders on network retries.
