Buy from retail URLs with the agent JWT. There is no /api/agent/... money path and no /api/partner/.... What the catalog is for (flights, GPU bills, eSIM, Apple/Steam gifts, KYT screens): What agents buy. IMBA issues the payment instrument, not the booking. ext_id is required on creates (idempotency). payment_source=stars → 403. Space catalog reads (balance, card_products, offers, esim/plans) ~1 second apart. Faster bursts return 429 catalog_gap.

Cards

  1. POST /api/card_products — take id as imba_product_id
  2. POST /api/pin/create_card with ext_id
  3. POST /api/pin/topup_card — card_id must belong to this agent
  4. POST /api/cards — list this agent’s cards
Cardholder fields (email, phone, names, country) are KYC for the card, not the agent 3-D Secure mailbox. If you registered jwe_public_key, secrets can be JWE (ECDH-ES + A256GCM), same idea as Partner. Without a JWE key you get a mask, not PAN.

Gift cards

  1. POST /api/offers (optional query)
  2. POST /api/purchase with offer_id + ext_id

eSIM

  1. POST /api/esim/plans — esim_provider=yesim, optional country ISO2; take plan id
  2. POST /api/esim/new_plan5 with plan_id + ext_id. If you pass iccid, it must already belong to this agent.

Balance

GET /api/balance — prepaid USDT after confirmed TRON credit or a human C2C inbound. Space this ~1s from other catalog reads.

KYT

Paid crypto-address screen (POST /api/kyt_quote, POST /api/kyt_check). Not a catalog SKU. See Screen a wallet (KYT).

Closed

Withdraw, C2C as payer, Stars, EVM, BTC, RUB bank/SBP, Partner URLs. Humans may C2C to this client_id. Convert: see Tiers.
