# Domestic VRP consents - v3.1.11

# Overview

The Domestic VRP Consents resource is used by a TPP to register a consent to initiate one or more of domestic payments within the control parameters agreed with the PSU.

This resource description should be read in conjunction with a compatible Variable Recurring Payments API Profile.

The PISP must call the end-point with the appropriate scope that they have been assigned. The ASPSP may use the scope to limit to functionality to sweeping or non-sweeping usage of the VRP.

# POST /domestic-vrp-consents

The API endpoint allows the TPP to ask an ASPSP to create a new domestic-vrp-consents resource.

The request payload may contain Debtor Accounts, but the PSU may not have been identified by the ASPSP.

The endpoint allows the TPP to send a copy of the consent (between PSU and TPP) to the ASPSP for the PSU to authorise.

The ASPSP creates the resource and responds with a unique ConsentId to refer to the resource.

The default/initial Status of the resource is set to AwaitingAuthorisation.

If the parameters specified by the TPP in this resource are not valid, or fail any rules, the ASPSP must return a 400 Bad Request. In such a situation a resource is not created.

The ASPSP must allow a PSU to have multiple VRP consents for a given account. This could include multiple consents with the same PISP.

The ASPSP must reject a consent request that has Data.ControlParameters.SupplementaryData that it cannot process.

# GET /domestic-vrp-consents/{ConsentId}

A TPP can retrieve a VRP consent resource that they have created to check its status at any point of time using this API.

# DELETE /domestic-vrp-consents/{ConsentId}

A TPP can delete a VRP consent resource that they have created by calling this API.

# POST /domestic-vrp-consents/{ConsentId}/funds-confirmation

This API endpoint allows the TPP to ask an ASPSP to confirm funds on the DebtorAccount associated with the domestic-vrp-consent.

An ASPSP can only respond to a funds confirmation request if the resource has a Status of Authorised.

If resource has any other Status, the ASPSP must respond with a 400 (Bad Request) and a UK.OBIE.Resource.InvalidConsentStatus error code.

# State Model - VRP consents

The state model for the VRP consents resource follows the generic consent state model. However, it does not use the Consumed status.

"VRP consents Status"

All domestic-vrp-consents start off with a state of AwaitingAuthorisation

Once the PSU authorises the resource - the state of the resource will be set to Authorised.

If the PSU rejects the consent, the state will be set to Rejected.

The available status codes for the VRP consents resource are:

  • AwaitingAuthorisation
  • Rejected
  • Authorised

The definitions for the Status:

Status Status Description
1 AwaitingAuthorisation The consent resource is awaiting PSU authorisation.
2 Rejected The consent resource has been rejected.
3 Authorised The consent resource has been successfully authorised.
