Before you begin

Put these six things in place first. Nothing here selects a processing mode: you choose Normal or Instant on each payment, so there is no account setting to switch on.

An API key with the payout permission. Get the key from your dashboard. See Authentication.
CNY enabled for your business. Ask your account manager.
A funded source wallet. Fincra debits the wallet of the source currency.
Your server IP addresses on the allow-list. Production only. See IP Whitelisting.
An approved Know Your Business status. Production only.
A webhook URL. Fincra sends the payout status, sender.updated and counterparty.updated to it. See Webhooks.

Base URLs

Every call uses the standard Fincra base URL. The sender and counterparty endpoints sit under the /global-payouts prefix.

Calls	Sandbox	Production
`/v1/senders`, `/v1/counterparties`	`https://sandboxapi.fincra.com/global-payouts`	`https://api.fincra.com/global-payouts`
`/send`, `/payouts/documents-upload`	`https://sandboxapi.fincra.com`	`https://api.fincra.com`

Send your API key in the api-key header on every call.

curl https://api.fincra.com/global-payouts/v1/senders \
  -H "api-key: $FINCRA_API_KEY"

The /send endpoint does not need a request signature.
