API

Generate merchant-specific & one-time credit card numbers for secure online payments

Overview

The Privacy.com API enables developers to programmatically create merchant-locked and disposable virtual credit cards linked to users' bank accounts. Key endpoints include virtual card creation (with merchant restrictions or one-time use), card status management (activate/deactivate), transaction history retrieval, and bank account linkage. Responses are formatted in JSON. Use cases: Integrate secure payment options into e-commerce apps, automate virtual card generation for subscriptions to prevent unauthorized charges, build privacy-focused financial tools, and track transactions without exposing real banking details.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://privacy.com/developer/docs')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
