Library

Transaction enrichment library for Android Kotlin

Use TxnKit as a transaction enrichment API from Android Kotlin. This page shows the safe request shape, a short code snippet, and the boundary for keeping sensitive data out of the integration.

Target intent

Android apps displaying cleaner merchant rows through a transaction enrichment API boundary.

TxnKit API keys should not be hardcoded into Android application packages.

Raw descriptor

CARD PURCHASE STARBUCKS 04821

Short Android Kotlin API snippet

val body = """
  {"raw_description":"PAYPAL *SPOTIFY","country":"CA"}
""".toRequestBody("application/json".toMediaType())

val request = Request.Builder()
  .url("https://api.txnkit.dev/v1/enrich")
  .addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer $txnkitApiKey")
  .post(body)
  .build()

val response = okHttpClient.newCall(request).execute()

Keep API keys out of browser bundles. For frontend stacks, call a backend route or serverless function that owns the TxnKit request.

API-shaped output

{
  "normalized_merchant": null,
  "display_name": null,
  "category": null,
  "subcategory": null,
  "website": null,
  "logos": {
    "preferred": null,
    "variants": [],
    "warnings": [
      "no_verified_logo_for_low_confidence_descriptor"
    ]
  },
  "confidence": 0.25,
  "recurring_hint": false,
  "processor_hint": "unknown",
  "location_hint": null,
  "signals": [
    "generic_card_descriptor",
    "removed_reference_tokens"
  ],
  "warnings": [
    "weak_merchant_evidence"
  ]
}

Low-confidence results should keep fallback labels and warnings visible instead of forcing a guessed logo or website.

When to use

  • You are building in Android Kotlin and need one-descriptor merchant cleanup through an HTTP API.
  • Your app can keep the TxnKit API key on the server side or inside a trusted serverless function.
  • You need merchant display names, categories, confidence, signals, warnings, and logo-ready metadata.

When not to use

  • TxnKit API keys should not be hardcoded into Android application packages.
  • Do not use TxnKit to process card numbers, account numbers, full statements, bank credentials, emails, phone numbers, addresses, customer names, or customer PII.
  • Do not use TxnKit when the product requirement is guaranteed merchant identity, every-merchant resolution, or contracted uptime terms.

Proof surfaces

The public contract is POST /v1/enrich, backed by the OpenAPI file, benchmark examples, privacy rules, and deterministic request-path tests.
