Credit an account

As the issuing institution, you can top up an account with X amount of tokens. This is done by calling the mint route.

Request body#

Parameters:

• amount: The amount of tokens to be created. Make sure to provide a string with the right number of decimals. For example, with 9 decimals, if you want to set the initial balance to 1$, you should provide initial_balance: "1000000000". Default is "0".

Response body#

Parameters:

• account: The wallet public address.
• available: The amount of tokens in the university token account.

Example:

{
    "account": "EUZuWt4ECBzdQvTGZQYSHouWA5bLnGS3oZDQ1nLTGwwx",
    "available": {
        "amount": "1000000000",
        "decimals": 9,
        "uiAmountString": "1",
        "currency": "usd",
        "guarantor": "aire"
    }
}

Note that the available field will be calculated and may not reflect the exact amount of tokens in the university token account. In fact, a mint request will forward the request to AIRE Net without verifying if the request was successful. A mint request is usually validated by AIRE Net in about a second.
