Typical Workflow

Send a transfer

  1. Look up the destination: lookup_bank_address with the CBU/CVU/alias

  2. Create a preview: create_transfer_preview with the address ID, amount, and currency

  3. Request approval: create_signature_request with the transaction ID (signers approve from Dashboard)

Check balances and transactions

  1. Get balances: get_balance to see available funds per currency

  2. Search transactions: search_transactions with date or status filters

  3. Get details: get_transaction with a specific transaction ID

Collect a one-off payment

  1. Create the order: create_payment_order with the expected amount and your own reference — returns a dedicated CVU

  2. Share the CVU with the payer, and persist it to match incoming DEPOSIT webhooks

  3. Track it: get_payment_order with your reference to see status and amountPaid

The CVU is taken down automatically once the order is paid or expires.

Load invoices from files

  1. Extract: read_invoices_from_files with local PDF/image paths — OCR only, nothing is saved

  2. Review the extracted data

  3. Create: create_invoices with the reviewed values

Permissions

Some tools require a partner permission to be enabled on your account, otherwise the API returns 403 FORBIDDEN:

Permission

Tools

Contact the Cresium team to enable them.

Authentication

All requests are signed using HMAC-SHA256. The server handles this transparently:

signature = HMAC-SHA256("{timestamp}|{METHOD}|{path+query}|{body}", secret) → base64

The signed path includes the query string exactly as sent. Headers sent on every request: x-api-key, x-company-id, x-timestamp, x-signature. Requests are rejected if the timestamp is more than 60 seconds old, so keep the host clock NTP-synced.
