MoMo API Java Client

This library helps you consume the new MTN Mobile Money API (MoMo API).

Features :

Support for Collections, Disbursements, Remittances
Support for Sandbox User provisioning
Automatically generate tokens for your requests, eg: collections.getAccountBalance() // no need to get token

1. Installation

To get started, you first have to add the JitPack repository to your root build.gradle file at the end of repositories section.

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Then, add the dependency to your dependencies section

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.regisbamba:momoapi-java:{latest-version}'
}

For other build systems, please see instructions on Jitpack's website.

2. Prerequesite

Before everything else, make sure you open an account on the (MoMo API) portal. You will need to subscribe to products on the portal before you can use them through the API and this client.

3. Consuming resources from the API

This library uses Reactive Programming via RxJava. All API resources are provided via Observable streams.

When you make a request, you can get the results by subscribing to the Observable and check whether the request was successful or not.

Eg: Getting the balance for your account.

collections.getAccountBalance().subscribe(
    new Consumer<AccountBalance>() {
        @Override
        public void accept(AccountBalance accountBalance) {                 // This function executes in case of success.
            System.out.println(accountBalance.getAvailableBalance());       // 900
        }
    }
);

You can also consume error events in case the API request failed.

collections.getAccountBalance().subscribe(
    new Consumer<AccountBalance>() {
        @Override
        public void accept(AccountBalance accountBalance) {                 // This function executes in case of success.
            System.out.println(accountBalance.getAvailableBalance());       // 900
        }
    },
    new Consumer<Throwable>() {
        @Override
        public void accept(Throwable throwable) throws Exception {          // This function executes in case of errors.
            RequestException e = (RequestException) throwable;              // Cast the throwable to RequestException to get the HTTP code and message returned by the MoMo API.
            System.out.println(e.getCode());                                // 401
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());                             // Access denied due to invalid subscription key. Make sure to provide a valid key for an active subscription.
        }
    }
);

If you use Java 8, you can use lambda functions for more clarity.

collections.getAccountBalance().subscribe(accountBalance -> {     // This function executes in case of success.
    System.out.println(accountBalance.getAvailableBalance());     // 900
});

collections.getAccountBalance().subscribe(
    accountBalance -> {                                                 // This function executes in case of success.
        System.out.println(accountBalance.getAvailableBalance());       // 900
    },
    throwable -> {                                                      // This function executes in case of error.
        RequestException e = (RequestException) throwable;              // Cast the throwable to RequestException to get the HTTP code and message returned by the MoMo API.
        System.out.println(e.getCode());                                // 401
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());                             // Access denied due to invalid subscription key. Make sure to provide a valid key for an active subscription.
    }
);

4. Reference

4.1 Create a MoMo client

Create a new MoMo client by specifying the environment (either SANDBOX OR PRODUCTION).

MoMo momo = new MoMo(Environment.SANDBOX);

4.2 Authenticate your requests

According to documentation, the credentials to be used are :

Subscription Key
API User and API Key to generate a Bearer Token for Oauth 2.0

The Subscription Key is available when you subscribe to a product via the portal.

The API User and API Key are used to grant access to the wallet system in a specific country. Please note that :

In production environment, API User and API Key are wholly managed by you through Partner Portal.
In sandbox environment, a provisioning API is exposed to enable developers generate their own API User and API Key for testing purposes only.

In simple terms, if you are in production you should copy and paste API User and API Key from the portal and store them as variables in your code.

If you are in sandbox, use the SandboxProvisioning class to generate API User and API Key as explained below.

First get a provisioning instance :

SandboxProvisioning sandboxProvisioning = momo.createSandboxProvisioning(subscriptionKey);

4.2.1 Create an API User (Sandbox Only)

Create an API User and get the referenceId back.

Documentation: https://momodeveloper.mtn.com/docs/services/sandbox-provisioning-api/operations/post-v1_0-apiuser

sandboxProvisioning.createApiUser().subscribe(referenceId -> {
    System.out.println(referenceId); // db0fc432-c940-4116-bbd1-887ab663e2a3
});

You can also specify a providerCallbackHost parameter.

sandboxProvisioning.createApiUser("www.myapp.com").subscribe(referenceId -> {
    System.out.println(referenceId); // 0812e642-5692-463b-8dce-370af19802c8
});

4.2.2 Create an API Key (Sandbox Only)

Create an API Key using the referenceId from API User.

Documentation: https://momodeveloper.mtn.com/docs/services/sandbox-provisioning-api/operations/post-v1_0-apiuser-apikey?

sandboxProvisioning.createApiKey(referenceId).subscribe(apiCredentials -> {
    System.out.print(apiCredentials.getUser()); // 822b8ea9-cc34-47b8-adcc-23a9a468b0df
    System.out.print(apiCredentials.getKey());  // 06796ba6ab714c4990b068dcfac66d88
});

4.2.3 Get an API User (Sandbox Only)

Get an API User record.

Documentation: https://momodeveloper.mtn.com/docs/services/sandbox-provisioning-api/operations/get-v1_0-apiuser?

sandboxProvisioning.getApiUser(referenceId).subscribe(apiUser -> {
    System.out.println(apiUser.getProviderCallbackHost()); // www.myapp.com
    System.out.println(apiUser.getTargetEnvironment());    // sandbox
});

4.3 Get a product instance

To make a request for a particular product, you need to create an instance of that product.

Collections collections = momo.createCollections(subscriptionKey, apiUser, apiKey);

You can also do so for Disbursements and Remittances.

4.4 Collections

The Collections product enable remote collection of bills, fees or taxes.

4.4.1 Create a Token

Create a Bearer Token to authenticate your requests.

Documentation: https://momodeveloper.mtn.com/docs/services/collection/operations/token-POST?

collections.createToken().subscribe(
    token -> {
        System.out.println(token.getAccessToken()); // eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSMjU2In0....
        System.out.println(token.getExpiresIn());   // 3600
        System.out.println(token.getTokenType());   // acess_token
        System.out.println(token.getApiUser());     // 74aebb95-5c4b-465a-83e6-a4cfa83ad2ff
        System.out.println(token.getApiKey());      // f9f5c67a0b4944f895dfedc719a2753e
    }
);

Please note: For all requests, you can either create your own token as explained above and pass it to your requests or you can let the client automatically generate it for you.

4.4.2 Request to pay

Request a payment from a consumer (Payer).

Documentation: https://momodeveloper.mtn.com/docs/services/collection/operations/requesttopay-POST?

float amount = 900;

String payerPartyId = "0022505777777";
String payerMessage = "This is your order 1234"; // Avoid special characters as it causes Error 500 from the API.
String payeeNote = "Order 1234";                 // Avoid special characters as it causes Error 500 from the API.

collections.requestToPay(amount, currency, externalId, payerPartyId, payerMessage, payeeNote)
    .subscribe(referenceId -> {
        System.out.println(referenceId); // e0c04c5b-e591-46fa-b3f9-92276fdfda4d
    }
);
