Beneficiaries

List beneficiaries

List beneficiaries for your merchant account.

All filters are optional. When no filters are supplied every merchant’s beneficiary is returned (paginated).

Filter behavior

customer_id — restricts to beneficiaries owned by the named GlobalStack customer (cust_<ULID>). Returns 404 if the customer is unknown.
type — restricts to beneficiaries of the given type. One of fiat, crypto.
currency — restricts to beneficiaries with the given uppercase currency code (2-8 alphanumerics). Matched literally against stored values.

Pagination

page — 1-indexed page number. Defaults to 1. Must be between 1 and 1,000,000.
per_page — page size. Defaults to 50. Must be between 1 and 200.

The response carries pagination metadata under meta:

"meta": {
  "request_id": "req_...",
  "timestamp": "...",
  "version": "1",
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 50,
  "total": 12,
  "has_more": false
}

has_more is true when at least one more page is available.

Ordering

Results are sorted by created_at DESC, id DESC (newest first, deterministic on ties).

Example

GET /v1/beneficiaries?customer_id=cust_01KPBAP7WTDKQKW5B3R31VPNX4&type=fiat&currency=NGN&page=1&per_page=25
