[Feature Request|Idea] Unify the Cloud and Local Peer-to-Peer API #2510

Closed ThaDaVos closed 2 months ago

ThaDaVos commented 2 months ago

I was just thinking after my conversation with @Oussama Tahour yesterday about the support of ISV for Peer-to-Peer - why not Unify the REST API between both? Like have the same endpoints used in Cloud, available on Peer-to-Peer - this makes easier to develop a client to communicate with Viva - as the same API for Cloud would also works when calling a terminal (as both use HTTPS) by Peer-to-Peer with only the change of the BaseUrl/Host being called.

You could also use Authentication in the same way, except now you send the /connect/token to the terminal, perhaps with the following information:

ClientKey: {device_id}.viva.com
ClientSecret: {a_value_from_peer_to_peer_settings or mac-address}

Why? Cause now anyone can send a payment to the terminal even though they shouldn't!

Why Unify the API? It simply eases development, eases documentation and makes sure that both platforms stay in sync more - also makes it less complex to develop and integrate with Viva
