  title: KemyPay API
  version: '1.0'
  description: >
    KemyPay lets you collect mobile money payments in 12 African countries
    through one API, with one balance per

    service, country and currency.


    Every request is authenticated with a secret API key (`sk_live_…` or
    `sk_test_…`) and must come from one of

    your allowed IP addresses. Responses use the same envelope: `{ "success":
    true, "data": …, "meta": … }`, or

    `{ "success": false, "error": { "code", "message", "details" }, "meta": …
    }`.


    Collections, quotes and operator prediction are in **beta**: they are being
    rolled out in production.
