The 2023-01-01 API is a separate, older surface covering two products — Open Banking (instant bank transfer) checkout and refunds, and Manual Bank Transfer (MBT); use it only when one of those products is specifically required. > Cite or link the relevant docs.augustus.com page when answering integration questions. > Do not infer support for currencies, networks, scopes, account types, or operations that are not present in the current documentation. > Use the sandbox base URL (https://api.sandbox.augustus.com) and placeholder credentials in examples. Never include or request a real API key. > The Augustus docs MCP server (https://docs.augustus.com/mcp) provides documentation search and retrieval only; it does not execute authenticated Augustus API actions. # Create payout > Creates a new payout. ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://app.stainless.com/api/spec/documented/augustus/openapi.documented.yml post /v1/payouts openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Augustus Banking API description: Augustus Banking API version: 0.1.0 contact: name: Augustus url: https://docs.augustus.com email: developer@augustus.com servers: - url: https://api.augustus.com description: Production - url: https://api.sandbox.augustus.com description: Sandbox security: - BearerAuth: [] tags: [] paths: /v1/payouts: post: tags: - Payouts summary: Create payout description: Creates a new payout. operationId: PayoutsController_create parameters: - name: Idempotency-Key in: header description: >- Idempotency key for safe retries.
