Mpesa OpenAPI solutions#

Before you can integrate on the M-Pesa OpenAPI solution, you must exchange your Application Key for a Session Key. The API Key is created with the creation of a new application. The Session Key acts as an access token that authorises the rest of your REST API calls to the system. A valid Session Key is needed to transact on M-Pesa using OpenAPI.

A single Session can be valid from minutes, hours and even days

One can leverage this and save a session for later use privied the lifetime has not expired.

Session API#

  • generate_key Generate a new session id

  • getSession Get the current saved session key

  • setSession Sets the session key to be used to execute transaction
