Tracing

All the endpoints in Viskan's API allow working with a tracing header called X-Correlation-ID. If you do not pass any value in, one will automatically be generated for you. This header is also returned from the API in the response headers.

You can use this value when reporting issues to Viskan, so that Viskan can easily find logs related to your API request.

If Viskan API in turns calls any other 3rd party API, such as payment service providers, they will pass the X-Correlation-ID header along to them as well. This way, API calls can traced all the way through the chain of systems. Note that other 3rd partys may call this header something else, such as X-Trace-ID or any other conventional name.

Please note that if you pass your own value in here, make sure that it is unique for each request you make. If you reuse the same value, it will be harder for us to find the logs related to your request.
