Get Card

The endpoint /cards/v1/{id} enables retrieving information about a particular card.

Considerations

  • The extend parameter is used to obtain additional data from a card, and to use it, you must have a valid and current PCI-DSS certification, backed by the ROC report. If you do not have the certification, follow the steps in [this documentation] (https://docs.pomelo.la/en/docs/cards/issuing/sensitive-information).
  • If you have contracted dynamic CVV, you will see the cvv_expiration_time field that determines the validity of the new code. Learn more about dynamic CVV.
