To prevent duplicate post transactions, we support idempotent requests. By providing a unique idempotency key in the header of your POST requests, the server can prevent duplicate requests from being processed.

This is especially useful in cases where there is network/connection failure before you receive a response from the server.

'Embed-Idempotency-Key':'19051a62-3403-11e6-ac61-9e71128cae77'

If a duplicate request is received for a transaction that has previously been processed (same payload and same idempotency key), we do not re-process the duplicate request, rather we return to you the last successful response for the request.

We recommend using a unique string like UUID as your idempotency key.
