Adyen Data Protection API

Adyen Data Protection API provides a way for you to process Subject Erasure Requests as mandated in GDPR.

Use our API to submit a request to delete shopper’s data, including payment details and other related information (for example, delivery address or shopper email).## Authentication Each request to the Data Protection API must be signed with an API key. Get your API Key from your Customer Area, as described in How to get the API key. Then set this key to the X-API-Key header value, for example:

curl
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: Your_API_key" \
...

Note that when going live, you need to generate a new API Key to access the live endpoints.

Versioning

Data Protection Service API supports versioning using a version suffix in the endpoint URL. This suffix has the following format: “vXX”, where XX is the version number.

For example:

https://ca-test.adyen.com/ca/services/DataProtectionService/v1/requestSubjectErasure
