--- title: "Get International Contact Requirements" method: GET path: "/contacts/international-requirements" tags: ["Contacts"] --- # Get International Contact Requirements `GET /contacts/international-requirements` ## Request - Base URL: `https://api.meow.com/v1` - URL: `https://api.meow.com/v1/contacts/international-requirements` - Auth: API key in header `x-api-key` - TypeScript: (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema) Returns the fields an international contact needs before you create one, for a given currency and destination bank country. Destinations differ: some route on an IBAN, others on a domestic routing code, and some want the recipient's full address. Ask here first, then send the answer's fields as `international` on `POST /contacts`. Check `supported` before reading the fields, since not every currency reaches every country. ## Query parameters - `recipient_currency` 'AED' | 'AFN' | 'ALL' | 'AMD' | 'ANG' | 'AOA' | 'ARS' | 'AUD' | 'AWG' | 'AZN' | 'BAM' | 'BBD' | 'BDT' | 'BGN' | 'BHD' | 'BIF' | 'BMD' | 'BND' | 'BOB' | 'BOV' | 'BRL' | 'BSD' | 'BTN' | 'BWP' | 'BYN' | 'BZD' | 'CAD' | 'CDF' | 'CHE' | 'CHF' | 'CHW' | 'CLF' | 'CLP' | 'CNY' | 'COP' | 'COU' | 'CRC' | 'CUC' | 'CUP' | 'CVE' | 'CZK' | 'DJF' | 'DKK' | 'DOP' | 'DZD' | 'EGP' | 'ERN' | 'ETB' | 'EUR' | 'FJD' | 'FKP' | 'GBP' | 'GEL' | 'GHS' | 'GIP' | 'GMD' | 'GNF' | 'GTQ' | 'GYD' | 'HKD' | 'HNL' | 'HRK' | 'HTG' | 'HUF' | 'IDR' | 'ILS' | 'INR' | 'IQD' | 'IRR' | 'ISK' | 'JMD' | 'JOD' | 'JPY' | 'KES' | 'KGS' | 'KHR' | 'KMF' | 'KPW' | 'KRW' | 'KWD' | 'KYD' | 'KZT' | 'LAK' | 'LBP' | 'LKR' | 'LRD' | 'LSL' | 'LYD' | 'MAD' | 'MDL' | 'MGA' | 'MKD' | 'MMK' | 'MNT' | 'MOP' | 'MRU' | 'MUR' | 'MVR' | 'MWK' | 'MXN' | 'MXV' | 'MYR' | 'MZN' | 'NAD' | 'NGN' | 'NIO' | 'NOK' | 'NPR' | 'NZD' | 'OMR' | 'PAB' | 'PEN' | 'PGK' | 'PHP' | 'PKR' | 'PLN' | 'PYG' | 'QAR' | 'RON' | 'RSD' | 'RUB' | 'RWF' | 'SAR' | 'SBD' | 'SCR' | 'SDG' | 'SLE' | 'SEK' | 'SGD' | 'SHP' | 'SLL' | 'SOS' | 'SRD' | 'SSP' | 'STN' | 'SVC' | 'SYP' | 'SZL' | 'THB' | 'TJS' | 'TMT' | 'TND' | 'TOP' | 'TRY' | 'TTD' | 'TWD' | 'TZS' | 'UAH' | 'UGX' | 'USD' | 'USN' | 'UYI' | 'UYU' | 'UYW' | 'UZS' | 'VED' | 'VES' | 'VND' | 'VUV' | 'WST' | 'XAF' | 'XAG' | 'XAU' | 'XBA' | 'XBB' | 'XBC' | 'XBD' | 'XCD' | 'XDR' | 'XOF' | 'XPD' | 'XPF' | 'XPT' | 'XSU' | 'XTS' | 'XUA' | 'XXX' | 'YER' | 'ZAR' | 'ZMW' | 'ZWG' | 'ZWL', required -

`supported` boolean, required: Whether this business can pay that currency into that country at all. When `false`, `required_fields` is empty. - `unsupported_reason` string, nullable: Why the corridor is unavailable, when `supported` is false. - `required_fields` InternationalRequirementField[], required: Fields you must supply. Fields in the same alternative group are exceptions: supply at least one from that group. The list is the union across the ways your accounts can fund the payment, so a contact carrying all of them is payable from any of them. - `field` 'first_name' | 'last_name' | 'company_name' | 'payment_method' | 'beneficiary_type' | 'currency' | 'address.street_line_1' | 'address.city' | 'address.state' | 'address.postal_code' | 'address.country' | 'bank_name' | 'bank_country' | 'bank_address' | 'account_number' | 'iban' | 'bic_swift' | 'routing_code_type' | 'routing_code_value' | 'routing_code_type_2' | 'routing_code_value_2', required: Field paths into the `international` object of a create or update contact request. A dotted value addresses a nested field: `address.city` is `city` inside `international.address`. - `pattern` string, nullable: Regular expression the value must match. Absent when the field is required but has no single format, which happens when two ways of funding the payment disagree on the format. - `fixed_value` string, nullable: The only value this corridor accepts for the field. Send it verbatim. - `alternative_group` 'destination_account' ## Other responses - `400`: The request could not be processed. - `401`: Authentication failed. - `403`: The API key is not authorized for this operation, or the user of a global API key is an admin or controller without approved KYC. The KYC case returns the message `KYC is required for controllers and admins.` until that user completes KYC in the Meow dashboard. - `429`: Too many requests. --- [API](https://skmtc.dev/meow/apis/meow-api.md) - [All operations](https://skmtc.dev/meow/apis/meow-api/llms.txt) - [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/meow/apis/meow-api/revisions/ea2d7e25b63b?raw)
