M-Pesa Node API
Node.js wrapper for the M-Pesa Mozambique API.
Using the API
Install it using npm:
npm install mpesa-node-api
Create the configuration
.env
file on your root directory based on.env.example
.Use your favorite text editor to edit the
.env
file and fill in the blank lines with configuration you got from the M-Pesa Developer Portal. See an example:MPESA_PUBLIC_KEY=example_public_key MPESA_API_HOST=api.sandbox.vm.co.mz MPESA_API_KEY=example_api_key MPESA_ORIGIN=developer.mpesa.vm.co.mz MPESA_SERVICE_PROVIDER_CODE=171717
In your JavaScript file, import the package using
require()
:const mpesa = require('mpesa-node-api');
Supported Transactions
All transactions return a Promise.
So you can either use then/catch
or async/await
to get the transaction response.
Responses match the ones specified on the M-Pesa API Documentation.
Example C2B response:
{
"output_ConversationID": "f02f957c19f4499faf6a6f19c0307e69",
"output_ResponseCode": "INS-0",
"output_ResponseDesc": "Request processed successfully",
"output_ThirdPartyReference": "ZXVM9H",
"output_TransactionID": "f449abol7j38"
}
Customer to Business (C2B)
const mpesa = require('mpesa-node-api');
mpesa.initiate_c2b(/* amount */ 10, /* msisdn */ 258843330333, /* transaction ref */ 'T12344C', /*3rd party ref*/ 'ref1')
.then(function(response) {
// logging the response
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function(error) {
// TODO: handle errors
});
Business to Customer (B2C)
const mpesa = require('mpesa-node-api');
mpesa.initiate_b2c(/* amount */ 10, /* msisdn */ 258843330333, /* transaction ref */ 'T12344C', /*3rd party ref*/ 'ref1')
.then(function(response) {
// logging the response
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function(error) {
// TODO: handle errors
});
Planned Support:
- [ ] B2B
- [ ] Reversal
- [ ] Query Transaction Status
Using custom configuration
Optionally, you can also use custom configuration to initialize the API:
const mpesa = require('mpesa-node-api');
mpesa.initializeApi({
baseUrl: "YOUR_MPESA_API_HOST",
apiKey: "YOUR_MPESA_API_KEY",
publicKey: "YOUR_MPESA_PUBLIC_KEY",
origin: "YOUR_MPESA_ORIGIN",
serviceProviderCode: "YOUR_MPESA_SERVICE_PROVIDER_CODE"
});
mpesa.initiate_c2b( 10, 258843330333, 'T12344C', 'ref1');
