What's New in V3.0

Breaking Changes

Holding points

Holding points before redeem is now optional.

Transactions API will be flexible to accept redeeming points with or without a hold reference. This will allow integrators to pick the best integration sequence that fits their system flow.

Removed Hashing

Hashing is no longer required for sensitive APIs like transactions & customer's information. Gameball now uses two keys for authentication:

  • Web Key (Public Key) : used for non sensitive APIs and initialization of Widget

  • Secret\transactions Key: used to authenticate sensitive API calls.
