GET Retrieve Enumerations

GET /reference-data/v1/enumerations

Development Guide

Retrieves enumerated values for fields. The data returned by the endpoint gives you the exact enumerated fields and values to display in the UI for customer selection. If a field is an enumerated data-type, the values returned in this API are the only accepted values for the field.



1. Prepare headers & authentication:

Call the 'Retrieve Enumerations' endpoint with a POST HTTP method, providing the OAuth access_token in the header and all other required header values.


Note: MoneyGram uses the OAuth 2.0 framework. The application must use their OAuth client credentials to generate an accessToken by calling the Get access token endpoint. The token is valid for 1 hour and must be passed as a header value in all subsequent API HTTP calls. Learn More

2. Provide agentPartnerId as query parameter.

The application must provide the agentPartnerId as a query parameter.

3. Make the request and handle the response:

The application will call the 'Retrieve Enumerations' endpoint with a GET HTTP method. The 'Retrieve Enumerations' will respond with an array of enumerations. The application must build to handle the following response scenarios.


  • Success | Parse the Response | 200 OK HTTP Status
    When the 'Retrieve Enumerations' endpoint responds with a 200 HTTP Status. An array enumeration name and the items and accepted item.value and item.description.
