# 1. Common APIs

# 1.1 Obtaining access_token

API description
The access_token is the globally unique credential for an Official Accounts to call APIs. It is required for every API request of an Official Account, so developers need to keep it secure. To store the access_token, you need to reserve space for at least 512 characters. The access_token is valid for 2 hours and needs to be refreshed regularly. If you obtain a new access_token, the previous one will become invalid. We recommend that you obtain and refresh access_tokens using a central control server. All the access_token values used by other business logic servers come from this central control server and should not be refreshed separately. Otherwise, the access_token may be overwritten, which will affect services. For more information about access_tockens, see the Official Account development documentation. Request method
Request URL: https://api.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/token?grant_type=client_credential&appid=APPID&secret=APPSECRET
Request method: GET

Request parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
grant_type String Yes Enter client_credential to get access_token
appid String Yes Unique credential of a third-party user
secret String Yes AppSecret (the key of the unique credential of a third-party user).

Response Data format: JSON

Parameter Type Required Description
access_token String Yes The obtained token
expires_in Int Yes Validity period of the token (in sec)

Sample code

{
	"access_token":"ACCESS_TOKEN",
	"expires_in":7200
}

# 1.2 Receiving Callbacks

Log in to the Official Accounts Platform, go to Developer Center Settings, and set the URL for receiving callbacks. When a user authorizes the collection of an e-bill or the e-bill status is updated, the Weixin server notify the developer via this URL.
If the Weixin server does not receive the response within five seconds, the connection is broken and the request is initiated again. A maximum of three retries are made. If developer's server cannot ensure the request is processed within five seconds, it can return an empty string. When receiving the string, the Weixin server will not take any action or make a retry.

# 2. APIs for a Payee Organization

# 2.1 Obtaining a Ticket

API description

	"expires_in": 7200

# 4.2 Error Codes

Status Description Remarks
0 OK Successful
72015 unauthorized create invoice No permission for this operation. Check whether you have activated the permission.
72031 invalid params Parameter error. The request may contain an invalid parameter name or a parameter value that fails the verification of backend.
72035 biz reject insert Collection has been rejected for the financial e-bill. If the order_id has been used as a parameter when the "Reject Collection" API is called, an error occurs when the order_id is used again to add the e-bill to Cards & Offers.
72036 invoice is busy The financial e-bill is being modified. Try again later.
72038 invoice order never auth No authorization granted for the order. There may be a mismatch between the finance bureau s_pappid, payee organization appid, and order_id.

72043 billing_code or billing_no size error Incorrect e-bill ID and code
40078 invalid card status No authorization granted for the card_id. If this error is reported in a sandbox environment, the reason is that the Weixin account calling the API is not added to the test list. If this error is reported in an official environment, the possible reasons include: the Official Account calling the API has not activated the Cares & Offers permission; or the gap between the creation time of card_id and the time of adding the e-bill to Cards & Offers is too small.
