Manage your cards effectively with freeze, unfreeze, and status controls. These features help you maintain security and control over card usage.

Freezing Cards

Freeze a card to temporarily disable it. Frozen cards cannot be used for purchases until they are unfrozen.

When to Freeze a Card

  • Suspected unauthorized activity
  • Employee termination or leave
  • Lost or stolen card reports
  • Temporary spending restrictions needed

Freezing a Card

curl -X PUT https://api.platnova.com/v1/cards/{card_id}/freeze \
  -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY"
The card status will change to “frozen” and all attempts to use it will be declined.

Unfreezing Cards

Unfreeze a card to restore its functionality. The card can be used immediately after unfreezing.

Unfreezing a Card

curl -X PUT https://api.platnova.com/v1/cards/{card_id}/unfreeze \
  -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY"
The card status will change back to “active” and normal usage can resume.

Checking Card Status

Retrieve the current status of a card:
curl -X GET https://api.platnova.com/v1/cards/{card_id} \
  -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY"

Card Statuses

  • active - Card is active and can be used
  • frozen - Card is frozen and cannot be used
  • cancelled - Card has been cancelled permanently

Card Information

View complete card details including masked card number, expiration date, and balance:
curl -X GET https://api.platnova.com/v1/cards/{card_id} \
  -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY"

Revealing Card Details

For security, card numbers and CVVs are masked by default. Use the reveal endpoint to get the full card details:
curl -X GET https://api.platnova.com/v1/cards/{card_id}/reveal \
  -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY"
Note: The reveal endpoint is rate-limited to prevent abuse. Use it only when necessary.

Best Practices

  • Freeze cards immediately if suspicious activity is detected
  • Regularly review card status and balances
  • Use unfreeze only when you’re certain the card should be active
  • Keep card details secure and never expose CVVs unnecessarily
