The available keys on an incoming Forward API request.

POST https://forwarding.sandbox.braintreegateway.com/

Parameters

client_cert string

A PEM-encoded X.509 certificate for TLS mutual authentication. (sandbox only)
client_key string

The PEM-encoded private key used to create the CSR that generated the client_cert. (sandbox only)
config object

When config is present it will be used in lieu of the config specified by name. Just like production configs, the types key must be present and must contain the type of the forwarded payment instrument. (sandbox only)
configs array

When configs is present it will be used in lieu of the config specified by name. It is a list of configs; the first one with a types key which contains the type of the forwarded payment instrument will be used. (sandbox only)
cse_data object

Only for payment data captured via our deprecated client-side encryption integration

A map containing client-side encrypted values. The decrypted value will be bound to the global variable specified by the key and made available to transformations.
data object

A list of values which are made available to transformations as global variables. (See variable lookup in the functions section.)
debug_transformations boolean

When debug_transformations is present no request is sent to the destination. A representation of the request which would have been executed in the absence of debug_transformations is instead returned. The query string which would have been used is returned in the X-Query-String header. (sandbox only)
merchant_id string

Required The unique identifier of the merchant whose Vault will be accessed.
method string

Required The HTTP method to use when making the request.
name string

The name of the endpoint receiving the card information (used to lookup which config to use for this request). Required in production.
override object

A map structured like the one in template. Used to override the transformations, any transformation which would have written to a part of the template specified here will no-op.
body object

A representation of the body of the request.
header object

A map which will become the headers of the request.
urlparam object

The map which will become the query string of the request.
payment_method_nonce string

The payment_method_nonce of the payment instrument being forwarded.
payment_method_token string

The payment_method_token of the payment instrument being forwarded.
payment_method_tokens array

The array of payment_method_tokens to forward. Variable bindings are 1-indexed (e.g. $number_1 corresponds to the card number of the first token).
sensitive_data object

A list of values that are made available to transformations as global variables. They will not be logged by the Forward API.
url string

The URL to which the request will be made.
urls array

It's possible that different types of payment instrument will need to be forwarded to different endpoints. urls specifies a list of candidate endpoints to use. Once a config has been chosen the first url matching that config's url regex will be used.
variable_aliases object

A map of alias -> backing variable name, provided as a convenience for complex integrations forwarding multiple payment methods.
