+The Exchange RESTful JSON API
+=============================
+
+The API specified here follows the :ref:`general conventions <http-common>`
+for all details not specified in the individual requests.
+The `glossary <https://docs.taler.net/glossary.html#glossary>`
+defines all specific terms used in this section.
+
+.. _keys:
+
+-----------------------
+Obtaining Exchange Keys
+-----------------------
+
+This API is used by wallets and merchants to obtain global information about
+the exchange, such as online signing keys, available denominations and the fee
+structure.  This is typically the first call any exchange client makes, as it
+returns information required to process all of the other interactions with the
+exchange.  The returned information is secured by (1) signature(s) from the exchange,
+especially the long-term offline signing key of the exchange, which clients should
+cache; (2) signature(s) from auditors, and the auditor keys should be
+hard-coded into the wallet as they are the trust anchors for Taler; (3)
+possibly by using HTTPS.
+
+
+.. http:get:: /keys
+
+  Get a list of all denomination keys offered by the bank,
+  as well as the bank's current online signing key.
+
+  **Response:**
+
+  :status 200 OK:
+    The exchange responds with a `ExchangeKeysResponse`_ object. This request should
+    virtually always be successful.
+
+  **Details:**
+
+  .. _ExchangeKeysResponse:
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    interface ExchangeKeysResponse {
+      // EdDSA master public key of the exchange, used to sign entries in `denoms` and `signkeys`
+      master_public_key: EddsaPublicKey;
+
+      // Denominations offered by this exchange.
+      denoms: Denom[];
+
+      // Denominations for which the exchange currently offers/requests payback.
+      payback: Payback[];
+
+      // The date when the denomination keys were last updated.
+      list_issue_date: Timestamp;
+
+      // Auditors of the exchange.
+      auditors: Auditor[];
+
+      // The exchange's signing keys.
+      signkeys: SignKey[];
+
+      // compact EdDSA `signature`_ (binary-only) over the SHA-512 hash of the
+      // concatenation of all SHA-512 hashes of the RSA denomination public keys
+      // in `denoms` in the same order as they were in `denoms`.  Note that for
+      // hashing, the binary format of the RSA public keys is used, and not their
+      // `base32 encoding <base32>`_.  Wallets cannot do much with this signature by itself;
+      // it is only useful when multiple clients need to establish that the exchange
+      // is sabotaging end-user anonymity by giving disjoint denomination keys to
+      // different users.  If a exchange were to do this, this signature allows the
+      // clients to demonstrate to the public that the exchange is dishonest.
+      eddsa_sig: EddsaSignature;
+
+      // Public EdDSA key of the exchange that was used to generate the signature.
+      // Should match one of the exchange's signing keys from /keys.  It is given
+      // explicitly as the client might otherwise be confused by clock skew as to
+      // which signing key was used.
+      eddsa_pub: EddsaPublicKey;
+    }
+
+  .. _tsref-type-Denom:
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    interface Denom {
+      // How much are coins of this denomination worth?
+      value: Amount;
+
+      // When does the denomination key become valid?
+      stamp_start: Timestamp;
+
+      // When is it no longer possible to deposit coins
+      // of this denomination?
+      stamp_expire_withdraw: Timestamp;
+
+      // Timestamp indicating by when legal disputes relating to these coins must
+      // be settled, as the exchange will afterwards destroy its evidence relating to
+      // transactions involving this coin.
+      stamp_expire_legal: Timestamp;
+
+      // Public (RSA) key for the denomination.
+      denom_pub: RsaPublicKey;
+
+      // Fee charged by the exchange for withdrawing a coin of this denomination
+      fee_withdraw: Amount;
+
+      // Fee charged by the exchange for depositing a coin of this denomination
+      fee_deposit: Amount;
+
+      // Fee charged by the exchange for refreshing a coin of this denomination
+      fee_refresh: Amount;
+
+      // Fee charged by the exchange for refunding a coin of this denomination
+      fee_refund: Amount;
+
+      // Signature of `TALER_DenominationKeyValidityPS`_
+      master_sig: EddsaSignature;
+    }
+
+  Fees for any of the operations can be zero, but the fields must still be
+  present. The currency of the `fee_deposit`, `fee_refresh` and `fee_refund` must match the
+  currency of the `value`.  Theoretically, the `fee_withdraw` could be in a
+  different currency, but this is not currently supported by the
+  implementation.
+
+  .. _tsref-type-Payback:
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    interface Payback {
+      // hash of the public key of the denomination that is being revoked under
+      // emergency protocol (see /payback).
+      h_denom_pub: HashCode;
+
+      // We do not include any signature here, as the primary use-case for
+      // this emergency involves the exchange having lost its signing keys,
+      // so such a signature here would be pretty worthless.  However, the
+      // exchange will not honor /payback requests unless they are for
+      // denomination keys listed here.
+    }
+
+  A signing key in the `signkeys` list is a JSON object with the following fields:
+
+  .. _tsref-type-SignKey:
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    interface SignKey {
+      // The actual exchange's EdDSA signing public key.
+      key: EddsaPublicKey;
+
+      // Initial validity date for the signing key.
+      stamp_start: Timestamp;
+
+      // Date when the exchange will stop using the signing key, allowed to overlap
+      // slightly with the next signing key's validity to allow for clock skew.
+      stamp_expire: Timestamp;
+
+      // Date when all signatures made by the signing key expire and should
+      // henceforth no longer be considered valid in legal disputes.
+      stamp_end: Timestamp;
+
+      // Signature over `key` and `stamp_expire` by the exchange master key.
+      // Must have purpose TALER_SIGNATURE_MASTER_SIGNING_KEY_VALIDITY.
+      master_sig: EddsaSignature;
+    }
+
+  An entry in the `auditors` list is a JSON object with the following fields:
+
+  .. _tsref-type-Auditor:
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    interface Auditor {
+      // The auditor's EdDSA signing public key.
+      auditor_pub: EddsaPublicKey;
+
+      // The auditor's URL.
+      auditor_url: string;
+
+      // An array of denomination keys the auditor affirms with its signature.
+      // Note that the message only includes the hash of the public key, while the
+      // signature is actually over the expanded information including expiration
+      // times and fees.  The exact format is described below.
+      denomination_keys: DenominationKey[];
+    }
+
+  .. _tsref-type-DenominationKey:
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    interface DenominationKey {
+      // hash of the public RSA key used to sign coins of the respective
+      // denomination.  Note that the auditor's signature covers more than just
+      // the hash, but this other information is already provided in `denoms` and
+      // thus not repeated here.
+      denom_pub_h: HashCode;
+
+      // Signature of `TALER_ExchangeKeyValidityPS`_
+      auditor_sig: EddsaSignature;
+    }
+
+  The same auditor may appear multiple times in the array for different subsets
+  of denomination keys, and the same denomination key hash may be listed
+  multiple times for the same or different auditors.  The wallet or merchant
+  just should check that the denomination keys they use are in the set for at
+  least one of the auditors that they accept.
+
+  .. note::
+
+    Both the individual denominations *and* the denomination list is signed,
+    allowing customers to prove that they received an inconsistent list.
+
+.. _wire-req:
+
+-----------------------------------
+Obtaining wire-transfer information
+-----------------------------------
+
+.. http:get:: /wire
+
+  Returns a list of payment methods supported by the exchange.  The idea is that wallets may use this information to instruct users on how to perform wire transfers to top up their wallets.
+
+  **Response:**
+
+  :status 200: The exchange responds with a `WireResponse`_ object. This request should virtually always be successful.
+
+  **Details:**
+
+  .. _WireResponse:
+  .. _tsref-type-WireResponse:
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    interface WireResponse {
+      // The key is a supported method (i.e. "sepa" or "test").
+      // The value is a method-specific JSON object with account details
+      // (i.e. IBAN number, owner name, bank address, etc.).
+      // The value objects may also contain signatures (if applicable).
+      //
+      // A single /wire response can contain an arbitrary number of these
+      // string-object pairs.  However, the keys must be unique.
+      string: Object;
+     }
+
+  Possible encodings for the objects are right now the following:
+
+  .. _WireTestResponse:
+  .. _tsref-type-WireTestResponse:
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    interface WireTestResponse {
+      // Mandatory indicator that this is a TEST wire response.
+      type: "test";
+
+      // Account number at the bank
+      account_number: number;
+
+      // URI of the bank
+      bank_uri: string;
+
+      // Name of the account's owner
+      name: string;
+
+      // Salt used to sign, `base32`_ encoded
+      salt: string;
+
+      // Wire transfer fee structure. Specifies aggregate wire transfer fees.
+      fees: AggregateTransferFee[];
+
+      // Signature of `TALER_MasterWireDetailsPS`_ with purpose TALER_SIGNATURE_MASTER_TEST_DETAILS
+      // Note that the `h_sepa_details` field of `TALER_MasterWireDetailsPS`_ is computed
+      // by concatenating all of the above fields (in the same order they appear) and then
+      // by hashing the obtained concatenation.
+      sig: EddsaSignature;
+    }
+
+  .. _WireSepaResponse:
+  .. _tsref-type-WireSepaResponse:
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    interface WireSepaResponse {
+      // Mandatory indicator that this is a SEPA wire response.
+      type: "sepa";
+
+      // Legal name of the owner of the account
+      receiver_name: string;
+
+      // Wire transfer fee structure. Specifies aggregate wire transfer fees.
+      fees: AggregateTransferFee[];
+
+      // IBAN account number.
+      iban: string;
+
+      // BIC of the bank.
+      bic: string;
+
+      // Signature of `TALER_MasterWireDetailsPS`_ with purpose TALER_SIGNATURE_MASTER_SEPA_DETAILS
+      // Note that the `h_sepa_details` field of `TALER_MasterWireDetailsPS`_ is computed
+      // by concatenating all of the above fields (in the same order they appear) and then
+      // by hashing the obtained concatenation.
+      sig: EddsaSignature;
+    }
+
+  Aggregate wire transfer fees representing the fees the exchange
+  charges per wire transfer to a merchant must be specified as an
+  array in all wire transfer response objects under `fees`.  The
+  respective array contains objects with the following members:
+
+  .. _AggregateTransferFee:
+  .. _tsref-type-AggregateTransferFee:
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    interface AggregateTransferFee {
+      // Per transfer wire transfer fee.
+      wire_fee: Amount;
+
+      // Per transfer closing fee.
+      closing_fee: Amount;
+
+      // What date (inclusive) does this fee go into effect?
+      // The different fees must cover the full time period in which
+      // any of the denomination keys are valid without overlap.
+      start_date: Timestamp;
+
+      // What date (exclusive) does this fee stop going into effect?
+      // The different fees must cover the full time period in which
+      // any of the denomination keys are valid without overlap.
+      end_date: Timestamp;
+
+      // Signature of `TALER_MasterWireFeePS`_ with purpose TALER_SIGNATURE_MASTER_WIRE_FEES
+      sig: EddsaSignature;
+    }
+
+----------
+Withdrawal
+----------
+
+This API is used by the wallet to obtain digital coins.
+
+When transfering money to the exchange such as via SEPA transfers, the exchange creates
+a *reserve*, which keeps the money from the customer.  The customer must
+specify an EdDSA reserve public key as part of the transfer, and can then
+withdraw digital coins using the corresponding private key.  All incoming and
+outgoing transactions are recorded under the corresponding public key by the
+exchange.
+
+  .. note::
+
+     Eventually the exchange will need to advertise a policy for how long it will keep transaction histories for inactive or even fully drained reserves.  We will therefore need some additional handler similar to `/keys` to advertise those terms of service.
+
+
+.. http:get:: /reserve/status
+
+  Request information about a reserve.
+
+  .. note::
+    The client currently does not have to demonstrate knowledge of the private
+    key of the reserve to make this request, which makes the reserve's public
+    key privileged information known only to the client, their bank, and the
+    exchange.  In future, we might wish to revisit this decision to improve
+    security, such as by having the client EdDSA-sign an ECDHE key to be used
+    to derive a symmetric key to encrypt the response.  This would be useful if
+    for example HTTPS were not used for communication with the exchange.
+
+  **Request:**
+
+  :query reserve_pub: EdDSA reserve public key identifying the reserve.
+
+  **Response:**
+
+  :status 200 OK:
+    The exchange responds with a `ReserveStatus`_ object;  the reserve was known to the exchange,
+  :status 404 Not Found: The reserve key does not belong to a reserve known to the exchange.
+
+  **Details:**
+
+  .. _ReserveStatus:
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    interface ReserveStatus {
+      // Balance left in the reserve.
+      balance: Amount;
+
+      // Transaction history for this reserve
+      history: TransactionHistoryItem[];
+    }
+
+  Objects in the transaction history have the following format:
+
+  .. _tsref-type-TransactionHistoryItem:
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    interface TransactionHistoryItem {
+      // Either "WITHDRAW", "DEPOSIT", "PAYBACK", or "CLOSING"
+      type: string;
+
+      // The amount that was withdrawn or deposited (incl. fee)
+      // or paid back, or the closing amount.
+      amount: Amount;
+
+      // Hash of the denomination public key of the coin, if
+      // type is "WITHDRAW".
+      h_denom_pub?: base32;
+
+      // Hash of the blinded coin to be signed, if
+      // type is "WITHDRAW".
+      h_coin_envelope?: base32;
+
+      // Signature of `TALER_WithdrawRequestPS`_ created with the `reserves's private key <reserve-priv>`_.  Only present if type is "WITHDRAW".
+      reserve_sig?: EddsaSignature;
+
+      // The fee that was charged for "WITHDRAW".
+      withdraw_fee?: Amount;
+
+      // The fee that was charged for "CLOSING".
+      closing_fee?: Amount;
+
+      // Sender account details, only present if type is "DEPOSIT".
+      sender_account_details?: any;
+
+      // Transfer details uniquely identifying the transfer, only present if type is "DEPOSIT".
+      wire_reference?: any;
+
+      // Wire transfer subject, only present if type is "CLOSING".
+      wtid?: any;
+
+      // Hash of the wire account into which the funds were
+      // returned to, present if type is "CLOSING".
+      h_wire?: base32;
+
+      // If `type` is "PAYBACK", this is a signature over a `struct TALER_PaybackConfirmationPS` with purpose TALER_SIGNATURE_EXCHANGE_CONFIRM_PAYBACK.
+      // If `type` is "CLOSING", this is a signature over a `struct TALER_ReserveCloseConfirmationPS` with purpose TALER_SIGNATURE_EXCHANGE_RESERVE_CLOSED.
+      // Not present for other values of `type`.
+      exchange_sig?: EddsaSignature;
+
+      // Public key used to create `exchange_sig`, only present if `exchange_sig` is present.
+      exchange_pub?: EddsaPublicKey;
+
+      // Public key of the coin that was paid back; only present if type is "PAYBACK".
+      coin_pub?: CoinPublicKey;
+
+      // Timestamp when the exchange received the /payback. Only present if `type` is "PAYBACK".
+      timestamp?: Timestamp;
+   }
+
+
+.. http:post:: /reserve/withdraw
+
+  Withdraw a coin of the specified denomination.  Note that the client should
+  commit all of the request details, including the private key of the coin and
+  the blinding factor, to disk *before* issuing this request, so that it can
+  recover the information if necessary in case of transient failures, like
+  power outage, network outage, etc.
+
+  **Request:** The request body must be a `WithdrawRequest`_ object.
+
+  **Response:**
+
+  :status 200 OK:
+    The request was succesful, and the response is a `WithdrawResponse`.  Note that repeating exactly the same request
+    will again yield the same response, so if the network goes down during the
+    transaction or before the client can commit the coin signature to disk, the
+    coin is not lost.
+  :status 401 Unauthorized: The signature is invalid.
+  :status 404 Not Found:
+    The denomination key or the reserve are not known to the exchange.  If the
+    denomination key is unknown, this suggests a bug in the wallet as the
+    wallet should have used current denomination keys from `/keys`.  If the
+    reserve is unknown, the wallet should not report a hard error yet, but
+    instead simply wait for up to a day, as the wire transaction might simply
+    not yet have completed and might be known to the exchange in the near future.
+    In this case, the wallet should repeat the exact same request later again
+    using exactly the same blinded coin.
+  :status 403 Forbidden:
+    The balance of the reserve is not sufficient to withdraw a coin of the indicated denomination.
+    The response is `WithdrawError`_ object.
+
+
+  **Details:**
+
+  .. _WithdrawRequest:

+    }
+
+.. _deposit-par:
+
+-------
+Deposit
+-------
+
+Deposit operations are requested by a merchant during a transaction. For the
+deposit operation, the merchant has to obtain the deposit permission for a coin
+from their customer who owns the coin.  When depositing a coin, the merchant is
+credited an amount specified in the deposit permission, possibly a fraction of
+the total coin's value, minus the deposit fee as specified by the coin's
+denomination.
+
+
+.. _deposit:
+
+.. http:POST:: /deposit
+
+  Deposit the given coin and ask the exchange to transfer the given :ref:`amount`
+  to the merchants bank account.  This API is used by the merchant to redeem
+  the digital coins.  The request should contain a JSON object with the
+  following fields:
+
+  **Request:** The request body must be a `DepositRequest`_ object.
+
+  **Response:**
+
+  :status 200 Ok:
+    The operation succeeded, the exchange confirms that no double-spending took place.  The response will include a `DepositSuccess`_ object.
+  :status 401 Unauthorized:
+    One of the signatures is invalid.
+  :status 403 Forbidden:
+    The deposit operation has failed because the coin has insufficient
+    residual value; the request should not be repeated again with this coin.
+    In this case, the response is a `DepositDoubleSpendError`_.
+  :status 404 Not Found:

+Refreshing
+----------
+
+Refreshing creates `n` new coins from `m` old coins, where the sum of
+denominations of the new coins must be smaller than the sum of the old coins'
+denominations plus melting (refresh) and withdrawal fees charged by the exchange.
+The refreshing API can be used by wallets to melt partially spent coins, making
+transactions with the freshly exchangeed coins unlinkabe to previous transactions
+by anyone except the wallet itself.
+
+However, the new coins are linkable from the private keys of all old coins
+using the /refresh/link request.  While /refresh/link must be implemented by
+the exchange to achieve taxability, wallets do not really ever need that part of
+the API during normal operation.
+
+.. _refresh:
+.. http:post:: /refresh/melt
+
+  "Melts" coins.  Invalidates the coins and prepares for exchangeing of fresh
+  coins.  Taler uses a global parameter `kappa` for the cut-and-choose
+  component of the protocol, for which this request is the commitment.  Thus,
+  various arguments are given `kappa`-times in this step.  At present `kappa`
+  is always 3.
+
+
+  :status 401 Unauthorized:

+    is `MeltForbiddenResponse`_ in this case.

+Emergency Cash-Back
+-------------------
+
+This API is only used if the exchange is either about to go out of
+business or has had its private signing keys compromised (so in
+either case, the protocol is only used in **abnormal**
+situations).  In the above cases, the exchange signals to the
+wallets that the emergency cash back protocol has been activated
+by putting the affected denomination keys into the cash-back
+part of the /keys response.  If and only if this has happened,
+coins that were signed with those denomination keys can be cashed
+in using this API.

+-----------------------
+Tracking wire transfers
+-----------------------
+
+This API is used by merchants that need to find out which wire
+transfers (from the exchange to the merchant) correspond to which deposit
+operations.  Typically, a merchant will receive a wire transfer with a
+**wire transfer identifier** and want to know the set of deposit
+operations that correspond to this wire transfer.  This is the
+preferred query that merchants should make for each wire transfer they
+receive.  If a merchant needs to investigate a specific deposit
+operation (i.e. because it seems that it was not paid), then the
+merchant can also request the wire transfer identifier for a deposit
+operation.
+
+Sufficient information is returned to verify that the coin signatures
+are correct. This also allows governments to use this API when doing
+a tax audit on merchants.
+
+Naturally, the returned information may be sensitive for the merchant.
+We do not require the merchant to sign the request, as the same requests
+may also be performed by the government auditing a merchant.
+However, wire transfer identifiers should have sufficient entropy to
+ensure that obtaining a successful reply by brute-force is not practical.
+Nevertheless, the merchant should protect the wire transfer identifiers
+from his bank statements against unauthorized access, least his income
+situation is revealed to an adversary. (This is not a major issue, as
+an adversary that has access to the line-items of bank statements can
+typically also view the balance.)

+
+  .. note::
+

+
+  Undo deposit of the given coin, restoring its value.
+
+  **Request:** The request body must be a `RefundRequest`_ object.
+

+
+  :status 200 Ok:
+    The operation succeeded, the exchange confirms that the coin can now be refreshed.  The response will include a `RefundSuccess`_ object.

+Administrative API: Key update
+------------------------------
+
+  .. note::
+
+     This is not yet implemented (no bug number yet, as we are not sure we will
+     implement this; for now, adding new files to the directory and sending a
+     signal to the exchange process seems to work fine).
+
+New denomination and signing keys can be uploaded to the exchange via the
+HTTP interface.  It is, of course, only possible to upload keys signed
+by the exchange's master key.  Furthermore, this API should probably only
+be used via loopback, as we want to protect the private keys from
+interception.
+
+.. http:POST:: /admin/add/denomination_key
+
+  Upload a new denomination key.
+
+  **Request:**
+
+  .. code-block:: tsref
+
+    {
+      // Public part of the denomination key
+      denom_info: any:

+    }
+
+
+.. http:POST:: /admin/add/sign_key

+
+.. _add-incoming:
+
+-------------------------------------
+Administrative API: Bank transactions
+-------------------------------------
+
+.. http:POST:: /admin/add/incoming
+
+  Notify exchange of an incoming transaction to fill a reserve.
+
+  **Request:**

+      //
+      // Note that the exchange does not interpret these details in any
+      // way, other than for "being unique". They are stored for diagnostics
+      // and auditing.
+      transfer_details: any;
+    }
+
+  **Response:**
+
+  :status 200:
+    The operation succeeded. The body is an `AddIncomingResponse`_ object.
+  :status 403:
+    the client is not permitted to add incoming transactions. The request may
+    be disallowed by the configuration in general or restricted to certain IP
+    addresses (i.e. loopback-only).

+
+.. http:POST:: /admin/add/outgoing
+
+  Notify exchange about the completion of an outgoing transaction satisfying a
+  /deposit request.  In the future, this will allow merchants to obtain details
+  about the /deposit requests they send to the exchange.
+
+  .. note::
+
+     This is not yet implemented (no bug number yet either).

+
+  **Response**
+
+  :status 200: The request was successful.
+  :status 403: the client is not permitted to add outgoing transactions
+
+  If the request was successful, the response has the following format:
+
+  .. code-block:: tsref

+The Test API
+------------
+
+The test API is not there to test the exchange, but to allow
+clients of the exchange (merchant and wallet implementations)
+to test if their implemenation of the cryptography is
+binary-compatible with the implementation of the exchange.
+
+.. http:POST:: /test/base32
+
+  Test hashing and Crockford :ref:`base32` encoding.
