DADEY API

Empower businesses. Excite developers.

Fintechs and businesses use DADEY to automate airtime and data delivery across Ghana. Developers use the API to add instant top-ups and high-volume data sends to their own products.

Why developers pick it

Built to stay out of your way

A developer embedding the DADEY API
  • Modular

    Call it where it fits

    Drop the airtime and bundle endpoints into the flow you already have. No rebuild, no new checkout.

  • Synced

    Events back to your stack

    Signed webhooks push completions and carrier references to your backend the moment they happen.

  • Low maintenance

    Carrier health handled

    We monitor every network and fail over automatically, so you are not paged when a carrier wobbles.

You automate airtime and data fulfillment, stop doing manual operator top-ups, and buy at wholesale rates across every Ghana network with instant reconciliation.

You get sandbox credentials, wire up the endpoints and webhooks against test carrier responses, then switch to production with our implementation team.

API access, sandbox keys and webhooks are free. You only pay for the airtime and bundles you deliver, at wholesale agent rates.

You keep a pre-funded wholesale wallet, topped up with MoMo or card through Paystack. Each successful send deducts from it in real time.

Most teams ship airtime and bundle top-ups in under a day, thanks to predictable JSON responses and signed webhooks.
