What’s live today — updated 2026-07-23. The direct engine APIs — quotes, rates,
offramp, onramp, and bank resolution, called from your backend with an
sk_ API key —
are live and reconciled against the Pulse engine. The embedded collection product
documented here (server-minted cs_ client sessions, the drop-in components, and signed
webhooks) is in preview: it runs against the sandbox today, and order lifecycle is
observed by polling collectionOrders.retrieve rather than by webhook.
Treat the client-session and webhook shapes as provisional until they land on the engine —
details in Contract status.How the pieces fit
Your secret key (
sk_…) and any user identity (BVN/NIN) stay only between
your backend and Pulse. The browser only ever holds a single short-lived client
session token (cs_…) scoped to one order — never the secret key.Quickstart
Zero to a working sandbox integration.
