URL used is production url

Even the python wrapper throws the same

from instamojo_wrapper import Instamojo
api = Instamojo(api_key='', auth_token='')
response = api.payment_request_create(
... amount='3499',
... purpose='FIFA 16',
... send_email=True,
... email="[email protected]",
... redirect_url="http://www.example.com/handle_redirect.py"
... )

response
{u'message': u'Invalid Auth Token.', u'success': False}

Please crosscheck the API key and Auth Token being passed.

I am using the exact API Key and Auth Token generated in doc example page. Copy pasted the same code.

import requests

headers = { "X-Api-Key": "", "X-Auth-Token": ""}
payload = {
... 'purpose': 'FIFA 16',
... 'amount': '2500',
... 'buyer_name': 'John Doe',
... 'email': '[email protected]',
... 'phone': '9999999999',
... 'redirect_url': 'http://www.example.com/redirect/',
... 'send_email': 'True',
... 'send_sms': 'True',
... 'webhook': 'http://www.example.com/webhook/',
... 'allow_repeated_payments': 'False',
... }
response = requests.post("https://www.instamojo.com/api/1.1/payment-requests/", data=payload, headers=headers)

print response.text
{
"success": false,
"message": "Invalid Auth Token."
}

It is fixed. I was using the API and auth token generated in doc page. That was not the correct one. Solved when I used the api creds available at https://www.instamojo.com/integrations

The API creds created along with the docs is causing confusion. either you remove it or put the correct api key and token with the code generated from docs

Docs page are public docs, we don't have any login there(at least not related to anyone's Instamojo account) and hence it is not possible to put someone's credentials there. Docs usually contain dummy data.

marked this as solved

Well I agree, but this page is causing confusion: https://www.instamojo.com/developers/

It says: We've generated the keys for you and included them in the examples.
And then there is the link to https://docs.instamojo.com/docs/

This will confuse people.
