Fetch prize

From ePrize Developers Wiki

API Home Page :: Games and Awards

Summary

Look up information about a prize. The redemption of a token will return a prize in the response if the user is a winner, but will not provide information about the prize itself. This resource is used to return information on a prize.

Important: a 200 OK response from this resource does not indicate a user has won the prize. A win should only be interpreted as such during token redemption.

Also note that the prize description may not make sense to a consumer. The created application is expected to translate the name appropriately before displaying it to the user.
