Intents (Fixed Settlements)

Define the fixed economics of a transaction before hand.

When initiating a request for payment, for example, it is undesirable to permit modifying certain transaction parameters, such as payout destination, currency and quantity.
An intent can be created with a fixed set of economics and any other parameters, without reference a quote. This intent can then be shared with the user for them to fulfil. In the payment example this means passing the intent_id to the initialization object of the widget.
A default (but still user changeable) currency can be set for either side of the transaction by setting the default_transaction in the widget initialization.

X-Quoine-Auth
Signed JWT. Please refer to auth token instructions.​
Encoded payload must contain:
{
    "token_id": "{created in Liquid web app, link above}",
    "path": "/realtime",
    "delegate_path": "/api/v1/partner/{public_api_key}/intent",
    "nonce": {current unix timestamp}
}
Strategy
The strategy field is optional, and defaults to ONE_TO_ONE_ATTEMPTED . 
Strategy
Description
ONE_TO_ONE_ATTEMPTED 
This causes the intent to be "consumed" the first time a user attempts to fulfil it. (Note: this refers to clicking "Buy now", not simply rendering the widget with the intent_id)
ONE_TO_MANY 
This allows the intent to be reused multiple times. (Note: the partner_* fields will appear in each transaction created with the intent unless overridden in the widget configuration.)

Pass the Intent ID to the Widget
See widget configuration.
{
    "public_api_key": "pk_xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "config_version": "1.2",
    "intent_id": "634fa9ca-75b6-4ecc-bc61-e2555fe06323"
}
This will cause the widget to start on the quote screen, but the payout currency and quantity will be locked.
