### Global Class

BreadwinnerPaymentsAPI is a global class that can be used to make requests to Payment Processors via Breadwinner. As it is a part of the managed package, you must prepend the namespace “bw\_payments”.

### Methods

A method call(Map\<String, Object> request) is a static global method within the BreadwinnerPaymentsAPI class, which can be used to make an API request.

```apex
bw_payments.BreadwinnerPaymentsAPI.call(Map<String, Object> request);
```

Breadwinner accepts the request data in the form of Map\<String, Object>, and even returns the response data as a Map\<String, Object>, thus making the requests and responses dynamic.

For more information, please refer to the Example Requests and Responses section.
