Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Active Documentation for /v1, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The IDT Beyond /v1 API exposes mobile airtime top-up and prepaid product distribution operations across IDT's global mobile operator network. Agents can check account balance, validate destination mobile numbers, list available top-up products and promotions, submit top-up transactions, and retrieve charges and topup history as JSON or CSV reports. The interface is RESTful over HTTPS with JSON payloads, scoped to airtime top-up workflows.
Pull JSON or CSV reports of charges and topup transactions for reconciliation
Estimate the local-currency value delivered to the recipient before topping up
Patterns agents use Active Documentation for /v1 API for, with concrete tasks.
★ International Airtime Top-Up
Send prepaid mobile airtime to phone numbers worldwide through IDT Beyond's mobile operator network. The API validates the destination number, returns the available top-up products and the local-currency value delivered, then submits the transaction via /iatu/topups. Useful for remittance apps, gifting flows, and humanitarian airtime distribution where the sender needs predictable settlement.
Validate the number +447700900123, list available products, then submit a $10 USD top-up via POST /iatu/topups.
Top-Up Reconciliation Reporting
Pull historical top-up transactions and account charges as JSON or CSV to reconcile against internal ledgers. The /iatu/topups/reports/all and /iatu/charges/reports/all endpoints return paginated transaction history that finance teams or agents can ingest into accounting systems for daily settlement.
Fetch the CSV charges report for the last 30 days from /iatu/charges/reports/all.csv and summarise total spend by destination country.
AI Agent Airtime Distribution
An AI agent embedded in a customer support or rewards workflow can offer airtime as an instant gift or compensation. Through Jentic, the agent searches for the top-up operation, validates the recipient number, picks the right product, and submits the topup without the developer wiring auth or pagination by hand.
Use Jentic to call POST /iatu/topups for a 5 EUR top-up to a validated MSISDN and confirm success in the response.
15 endpoints — jentic publishes the only available openapi specification for active documentation for /v1, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
IDT Beyond API keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped execution access only — the raw key never enters the agent's context window.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'top up a mobile phone') and Jentic returns the matching IDT Beyond operation with its input schema, so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the docs.
Time to first call
Direct IDT Beyond integration: 1-2 days for auth, product lookup, and reconciliation. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Reloadly Topups API
Reloadly is a direct alternative for international mobile airtime top-ups with a wider operator catalogue.
Choose Reloadly when broader operator coverage or sandbox testing is needed; choose IDT Beyond when an existing IDT partner agreement is in place.
Twilio API
Twilio sends an SMS receipt or confirmation after a topup completes.
Pair with IDT Beyond when the workflow needs to notify the recipient or sender via SMS once the topup is confirmed.
Stripe API
Stripe collects payment from the end user before the topup is funded.
Use Stripe upstream to charge the customer's card, then call IDT Beyond to deliver the airtime.
Specific to using Active Documentation for /v1 API through Jentic.
Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Active Documentation for /v1?
IDT Beyond does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call the IDT Beyond /v1 API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.
What authentication does the IDT Beyond /v1 API use?
The IDT Beyond /v1 API uses an API key passed in request headers. Through Jentic, the key is held in the Jentic vault and injected at execution time so the agent never sees the raw secret.
Can I top up a mobile phone in another country with this API?
Yes. POST /iatu/topups submits an airtime top-up to a destination MSISDN; before calling it, use GET /iatu/number-validator to confirm the number is valid and GET /iatu/products/reports/all to pick the correct product for that operator.
How do I check my IDT Beyond account balance before submitting a topup?
Call GET /iatu/balance. The response returns the current account balance so an agent can confirm there are sufficient funds before posting to /iatu/topups.
What are the rate limits for the IDT Beyond /v1 API?
Rate limits are not declared in the OpenAPI spec; IDT Beyond enforces account-level transaction limits set in the partner agreement. Inspect 429 responses and back off if encountered.
How do I send a topup through Jentic?
Run pip install jentic, then use Jentic's search to find 'send a mobile top-up', load the schema for POST /iatu/topups, and execute with the destination MSISDN, product code, and amount.
/iatu/topups/reports/all
