Health Check

Test and confirm that the Transaction History API is up and ready to process requests.

GET /transaction-history/health

Take a look at our OpenAPI (Swagger-Spec) schema to learn more about the API calls.

This test endpoint ensures there are no known connectivity issues between AIR MILES and our partners. The HEALTH call functions similarly to a standard ‘ping’ request, determining if a client or host is online and accessible.

Note

To receive a Bearer token and authorize your request, use the client_id and client_secret provided to you by AIR MILES.

Tip

It is highly recommended that all partners use the HEALTH endpoint upon starting their integration, to ensure both systems can communicate properly. Also at the partner’s discretion, we recommend performing periodic HEALTH tests at regular intervals to be notified immediately in the case of any unforeseen outages.
