+===========================
+Taler Bank Revenue HTTP API
+===========================
+
+This section describes an API offered by libeufin-nexus and libeufin-bank. The API is
+used by the merchant (or other parties) to query for incoming transactions to their account.
+
+.. http:get:: /config
+
+ Return the protocol version and configuration information about the bank.
+ This specification corresponds to ``current`` protocol being version **0**.
+
+ **Response:**
+
+ :http:statuscode:`200 OK`:
+ The exchange responds with a `RevenueConfig` object. This request should
+ virtually always be successful.
+
+ **Details:**
+
+ .. ts:def:: RevenueConfig
+
+ interface RevenueConfig {
+ // Name of the API.
+ name: "taler-revenue";
+
+ // libtool-style representation of the Bank protocol version, see
+ // https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Versioning.html#Versioning
+ // The format is "current:revision:age".
+ version: string;
+
+ // Currency used by this gateway.
+ currency: string;
+
+ // URN of the implementation (needed to interpret 'revision' in version).
+ // @since v0, may become mandatory in the future.
+ implementation?: string;
+ }
+
+
+--------------
+Authentication
+--------------
+
+The bank library authenticates requests to the bank merchant API using
+`HTTP basic auth <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7617>`_.
+
+--------------------------------
+Querying the transaction history
+--------------------------------
+
+.. http:get:: /history
+
+ Return a list of transactions made to an account.
+
+ The bank account is determined via the base URL and/or the
+ user name in the ``Authorization`` header. In fact, the transaction history
+ might come from a "virtual" account, where multiple real bank accounts are
+ merged into one history.
+
+ Transactions are identified by an opaque numeric identifier, referred to here
+ as *row ID*. The semantics of the row ID (including its sorting order) are
+ determined by the bank server and completely opaque to the client.
+
+ The list of returned transactions is determined by a row ID *starting point*
+ and a signed non-zero integer *delta*:
+
+ * If *delta* is positive, return a list of up to *delta* transactions (all matching
+ the filter criteria) strictly **after** the starting point. The transactions are sorted
+ in **ascending** order of the row ID.
+ * If *delta* is negative, return a list of up to *-delta* transactions (all matching
+ the filter criteria) strictly **before** the starting point. The transactions are sorted
+ in **descending** order of the row ID.
+
+ If *starting point* is not explicitly given, it defaults to:
+
+ * A value that is **smaller** than all other row IDs if *delta* is **positive**.
+ * A value that is **larger** than all other row IDs if *delta* is **negative**.
+
+ **Request:**
+
+ :query start: *Optional.*
+ Row identifier to explicitly set the *starting point* of the query.
+ :query delta:
+ The *delta* value that determines the range of the query.
+ :query long_poll_ms: *Optional.* If this parameter is specified and the
+ result of the query would be empty, the bank will wait up to ``long_poll_ms``
+ milliseconds for new transactions that match the query to arrive and only
+ then send the HTTP response. A client must never rely on this behavior, as
+ the bank may return a response immediately or after waiting only a fraction
+ of ``long_poll_ms``.
+
+ **Response:**
+
+ :http:statuscode:`200 OK`:
+ JSON object of type `RevenueIncomingHistory`.
+ :http:statuscode:`400 Bad request`:
+ Request malformed. The bank replies with an `ErrorDetail` object.
+ :http:statuscode:`401 Unauthorized`:
+ Authentication failed, likely the credentials are wrong.
+ :http:statuscode:`404 Not found`:
+ The endpoint is wrong or the user name is unknown. The bank replies with an `ErrorDetail` object.
+
+ **Details:**
+
+ .. ts:def:: RevenueIncomingHistory
+
+ interface RevenueIncomingHistory {
+ // Array of incoming transactions.
+ incoming_transactions : RevenueIncomingBankTransaction[];
+
+ // Payto URI to identify the receiver of funds.
+ // Credit account is shared by all incoming transactions
+ // as per the nature of the request.
+ credit_account: string;
+ }
+
+ .. ts:def:: RevenueIncomingBankTransaction
+
+ interface RevenueIncomingBankTransaction {
+ // Opaque identifier of the returned record.
+ row_id: SafeUint64;
+
+ // Date of the transaction.
+ date: Timestamp;
+
+ // Amount transferred.
+ amount: Amount;
+
+ // Payto URI to identify the sender of funds.
+ debit_account: string;
+
+ // The wire transfer subject.
+ subject: string;
