This is because we have 1 user in our sandbox called Sugar Daddy. This user will approve all requests for money up to €500 at a time. ## Call to SugarDaddy As you can see in the response we'll need to pass in our user ID as well as monetary account ID. counterparty Alias is the alias (phone number, email address or IBAN) of the person you want money from. The amount and currency are €100. {% hint style="info" %} Sugardaddy hands out free money, it's not unlimited. Sugardaddy will only accept requests up to €500,- Any request above that amount will be rejected. {% endhint %} #### Example request body ```json { "amount_inquired": { "value": "100", "currency": "EUR" }, "counterparty_alias": { "type": "EMAIL", "value": "sugardaddy@bunq.com", "name": "Sugar Daddy" }, "description": "You'\''re the best!", "allow_bunqme": false }' ``` #### Example curl call to sugardaddy ``` curl --location 'https://public-api.sandbox.bunq.com/v1/user/1822179/monetary-account/2026814/request-inquiry' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \ --header 'User-Agent: postman' \ --header 'X-Bunq-Language: en_US' \ --header 'X-Bunq-Region: nl_NL' \ --header 'X-Bunq-Client-Request-Id: c27ctel8WBQrleTTk4I8' \ --header 'X-Bunq-Geolocation: 0 0 0 0 000' \ --header 'X-Bunq-Client-Authentication: ce717b3001d979ff5e22bac13508b46e7ad740971d1d75c5371614e546ca8b83' \ --header 'X-Bunq-Client-Signature: IQmnUmd/DO8ELKBGKSuSdszxQmvBNA1s7ONHdmYU9glRs1kpaDnVmPyQgFL+mDffbdm5G4KsoI4Wvt07Cw1upYN8aPb0MEzpKL54F/1f2AZxWxUTGT+uBvdyCZuT609NJc279casOL1zm0XNo2i2Q8NiFKl0Y4eCmEOyErvxjAWuLObOW7VzXcWFN1LqXLC12sDGKTagbXtRrSS/mL5fsKYCxWQrb9mBsAWzmFWC0mGORrzrpUG24r+1qX/sRsH6wMKf5t8nUIsBeGtT0c724wM9M/Silp0OoZQ0w37nuiKGxPq+Awxx4//o2b09wIKyZUBEeFa1BQnrLdAIKvABLA==' \ --data-raw '{ "amount_inquired": { "value": "100", "currency": "EUR" }, "counterparty_alias": { "type": "EMAIL", "value": "sugardaddy@bunq.com", "name": "Sugar Daddy" }, "description": "You'\''re the best!", "allow_bunqme": false }' ``` #### Example response body Sugardaddy just returns a response with a request ID. But since we don't see an error we know that Sugardaddy received the request ```json { "Response": [ { "Id": { "id": 1475092 } } ] } ``` #### Verification If we want to double check that Sugar Daddy indeed paid us we'll have to double check our Monetary account again. Instead of listing all monetary accounts we can now also do a smaller API call to just get details for the monetary account in our request. Which should have our updated balance in the response #### request ```http curl --location 'https://public-api.sandbox.bunq.com/v1/user/1822179/monetary-account/2026814' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \ --header 'User-Agent: postman' \ --header 'X-Bunq-Language: en_US' \ --header 'X-Bunq-Region: nl_NL' \ --header 'X-Bunq-Client-Request-Id: c27ctel8WBQrleTTk4I8' \ --header 'X-Bunq-Geolocation: 0 0 0 0 000' \ --header 'X-Bunq-Client-Authentication: ce718b3001d979ff5e22bac13508b46e7ad740971d1d75c5371614e546ca8b83' \ --header 'X-Bunq-Client-Signature: IQmnUmd/DO8EEKBGKSuSdszxQmvBNA1s7ONHdmYU9glRs1kpaDnVmPyQgFL+mDffbdm5G4KsoI4Wvt07Cw1upYN8aPb0MEzpKL54F/1f2AZxWxUTGT+uBvdyCZuT609NJc279casOL1zm0XNo2i2Q8NiFKl0Y4eCmEOyErvxjAWuLObOW7VzXcWFN1LqXLC12sDGKTagbXtRrSS/mL5fsKYCxWQrb9mBsAWzmFWC0mGORrzrpUG24r+1qX/sRsH6wMKf5t8nUIsBeGtT0c724wM9M/Silp0OoZQ0w37nuiKGxPq+Awxx4//o2b09wIKyZUBEeFa1BQnrLdAIKvABLA==' \ --data '' ``` #### Response ``` "Response": [ { "MonetaryAccountBank": { "id": 2026814, "created": "2025-03-05 16:12:01.255073", "updated": "2025-03-05 16:12:01.255073", ... more key value pairs ... } "balance": { "currency": "EUR", "value": "100.00" }, } ] ``` ## Requesting money from other users If you want to request money from other users then this is how you do it: Just be aware, sugardaddy is the only one who automatically transfers money to you. {% openapi src="" path="/user/{userID}/monetary-account/{monetary-accountID}/request-inquiry" method="get" %} {% endopenapi %} ## Response ```json { "Response": [ { "Id": { "id": 1475092 } } ] } ``` --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://doc.bunq.com/tutorials/your-first-payment/setting-up-a-sandbox-user/getting-sandbox-money-on-the-user-account.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
