Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Authenticate using OAuth2 client credentials to obtain a bearer token for the Highnote API
Create a Cardholder profile with identity and address fields via the createCardholder mutation in the GraphQL API
Issue a virtual card linked to the cardholder using the createVirtualCard mutation, specifying the card product and optional spending controls
Register a webhook endpoint to receive AuthorizationRequest events for real-time decision-making
In your webhook handler, evaluate the authorization request fields (merchantCategory, transactionAmount, merchantName) and respond with an APPROVED or DECLINED decision within the network timeout
Update card-level spend controls post-issuance via the updateCard mutation to change limits without reissuing
Known gotchas
Highnote uses a GraphQL API exclusively — there is no REST endpoint; all operations are mutations or queries over the GraphQL schema
Real-time authorization webhook responses must arrive within a tight deadline (typically under 2 seconds); design your decision logic to be synchronous and low-latency
Cards are issued in an INACTIVE state by default on some card products; confirm the card's status before testing authorizations
