Paystack Axios Operation Discovery

The Axios SDK exposes generated OpenAPI operation IDs as flat helpers on the paystack object. The transport is Axios-backed, but operation names and request shapes match the other TypeScript API SDKs.

const paystack = createPaystack({ secretKey: process.env.PAYSTACK_SECRET_KEY! });

await paystack.transaction_initialize({ body: { email, amount } });
await paystack.transaction_verify({ params: { path: { reference } } });

How to find a helper

1. Search src/operations.ts or generated declaration output for the resource/action.
2. Prefer the OpenAPI operationId when available.
3. Confirm whether values belong in body, params.path, or params.query.
4. Keep using generated helpers unless the task is specifically about Axios transport internals.

Common examples

• Initialize payment: transaction_initialize
• Verify transaction: transaction_verify
• Create customer: customer_create
• Resolve account number: bank_resolveAccountNumber
• Create transfer recipient: transferrecipient_create
• Create refund: refund_create

Best practices

• Do not invent nested clients or hand-written convenience method names.
• Use TypeScript autocomplete to inspect the accepted request object.
• Keep pagination in params.query.
• Keep Axios interceptors transport-oriented; do not move operation naming or payload shaping into interceptors.
