Getting started

This guide is an easy-to-read introduction on the way clients can look up buyer product tokens/vouchers related to purchases.


Why use this API?

The Token Lookup API may be used by clients to lookup tokens/vouchers to present back to the buyer/customer who purchased token-related products via Clickatell’s Transact platform. This is an alternative way for the buyers to view their purchased tokens/vouchers and will mainly be used if they did not receive the original SMS containing the purchased token.

Note: The API will only return the tokens for transactions where the buyer initiated the purchase (including gifted) but will not include any tokens received via gifting/3rd party purchases. 


Participating parties
  • Buyer 
  • Clickatell
  • Client

For definitions of each, see here.
