Make Booking

Introduction

The make booking API allows users to create a booking for an event by providing the necessary details such as ticket ID, slot ID, quantity, and attendee information as per the expected_payload parameter on the response from the Get Booking Payload API. This API generates a payment URL that users can use to complete the booking process.

Making a Booking

To make the booking, users need to make an HTTP POST request to the specified endpoint with the required parameters.

Endpoint

https://api.paydexp.com/v1/booking/make

Authorization

Users need to include basic authentication credentials in the request headers.

    AUTHORIZATION: Basic Auth

    Username  <username>
    Password  <password>

Request Body (Token Object)

The request body should include the necessary parameters for the request, such as the ticket_id, slot_id, and quantity.
