The proposed resource model showing the relationship between data objects that are used by this Building Block is illustrated in the diagram below.
Description: Outlines the acknowledgement sent in response to an API call. If the implementation uses HTTP/S, then Ack must be returned in the same session. Every API call to a Provider Platform must be responded to with an Ack whether the Provider Platform intends to respond with a callback or not. This has the property status that indicates the state of the Acknowledgement.
Fields:
status
string
The status of the acknowledgement. If the request passes the validation criteria of the Provider Platform, then this is set to ACK. If a Provider Platform responds with status = ACK to a request, it is required to respond with a callback. If the request fails the validation criteria, then this is set to NACK. Additionally, if a Provider Platform does not intend to respond with a callback even after the request meets the validation criteria, it should set this value to NACK.
Enum Data Type in C: ACK, NACK
tags
A grouped list of tags containing any additional information sent along with the Acknowledgement.
Description: Shows an additional item offered as a value-addition to a product or service. This does not exist independently in a catalog and is always associated with an item.
Fields:

Description: Outlines a postal address that is stored as a string value.
Description: Outlines the direct performer, driver or executor that fulfils an order. It is usually a person. But in some rare cases, it could be a non-living entity like a drone, or a bot. Some examples of agents are a doctor in the healthcare sector, a driver in the mobility sector, or a delivery person in the logistics sector. This object can be set at any stage of the order lifecycle. This can be set at the discovery stage when the Provider Platform wants to provide details on the agent fulfilling the order, like in healthcare, where the doctor's name appears during a search. This object can also be used to search for a particular person that the customer wants to fulfil an order. Sometimes, this object gets instantiated after the order is confirmed, like in the case of on-demand taxis, where the driver is assigned after the user confirms the ride.
Fields:

Description:
Every API call in Beckn Protocol has a context. It provides a high-level overview to the receiver about the nature of the intended transaction. Typically, it is the Application Platform that sets the transaction context based on the consumer's location and action on their UI. But sometimes, during unsolicited callbacks, the Provider Platform also sets the transaction context but it is usually the same as the context of a previous full-cycle, request-callback interaction between the Application Platform and the Provider Platform. The context object contains four types of fields. Demographic information about the transaction using fields like domain, country, and region. Addressing details like the sending and receiving platform's ID and API URL. Interoperability information like the protocol version that is implemented by the sender and transaction details like the method being called at the receiver's endpoint, the transaction_id that represents an end-to-end user session at the Application Platform, a message ID to pair requests with callbacks, a timestamp to capture sending times, a ttl to specify the validity of the request, and a key to encrypt information if necessary. This object must be passed in every interaction between an Application Platform and a Provider Platform. In HTTP/S implementations, it is not necessary to send the context during the synchronous response. However, in asynchronous protocols, the context must be sent during all interactions.
Fields:
domain
Industry sector code that is relevant to this transaction
location
The location where the request is restricted to
action
string
The Beckn protocol method being called by the sender and executed at the receiver.

bpp_uri
string
Subscriber URL of the Provider Platform for accepting calls from Application Platforms.
transaction_id
string
This is a unique value which persists across all API calls from search through confirm. This is done to indicate an active user session across multiple requests. The Provider Platforms can use this value to push personalized recommendations, and dynamic offerings related to an ongoing transaction despite being unaware of the user active on the Application Platform.
Format: uuid
message_id
string
This is a unique value which persists during a request / callback cycle. Since beckn protocol APIs are asynchronous, Application Platforms need a common value to match an incoming callback from a Provider Platform to an earlier call. This value can also be used to ignore duplicate messages coming from the Provider Platform. It is recommended to generate a fresh message_id for every new interaction. When sending unsolicited callbacks, Provider Platforms must generate a new message_id.
Format: uuid

Too broad domains will result in irrelevant search broadcast calls to Provider Platforms that don't have services supporting the domain. Too narrow domains will result in a large number of registry entries for each Provider Platform. It is recommended that network facilitators actively collaborate with various working groups and network participants to carefully choose domain codes keeping in mind relevance, performance, and opportunity cost. It is recommended that networks choose broad domains like mobility, logistics, healthcare etc, and progressively granularize them as and when the number of network participants for each domain grows large.

Description: Outlines a tag. This is used to contain extended metadata. This object can be added as a property to any schema to describe extended attributes. For Application Platforms, tags can be sent during search to optimize and filter search results. Provider Platforms can use tags to index their catalog to allow better search functionality. Tags are sent by the Provider Platform as part of the catalog response in the on_search callback. Tags are also meant for display purposes. Upon receiving a tag, Application Platforms are meant to render them as name-value pairs. This is particularly useful when rendering tabular information about a product or service.
Fields:
descriptor
Description of the Tag, can be used to store detailed information.
value
string
The value of the tag. This set by the Provider Platform and rendered as-is by the Application Platform.
display
boolean
This value indicates if the tag is intended for display purposes. If set to true, then this tag must be displayed. If it is set to false, it should not be displayed. This value can override the group display value.
Description: A collection of tag objects with group-level attributes (Documentation on Tag Groups schema).
Fields:
display
boolean
Indicates the display properties of the tag group. If display is set to false, then the group will not be displayed. If it is set to true, it should be displayed. However, group-level display properties can be overriden by individual tag-level display property. As this schema is purely for catalog display purposes, it is not recommended to send this value during search. Has a default value of true.
descriptor
Description of the TagGroup, can be used to store detailed information.
list
array
An array of Tag objects listed under this group. This property can be set by Application Platforms during search to narrow the search and achieve more relevant results. When received during on_search, Application Platforms must render this list under the heading described by the name property of this schema.
Description: Outlines time in its various forms. It can be a single point in time/duration or a structured timetable of operations. This has properties like label, timestamp, duration, range, days, and schedule.

Description: Contains tracking information that can be used by the Application Platform to track the fulfillment of an order in real-time. which is useful for knowing the location of time-sensitive deliveries.
Fields:
id
string
A unique tracking reference number
url
string
A URL to the tracking endpoint. This can be a link to a tracking webpage, a webhook URL created by the Application Platform where Provider Platform can push the tracking data, or a GET url creaed by the Provider Platform which the Application Platform can poll to get the tracking data. It can also be a websocket URL where the Provider Platform can push real-time tracking data.
uri
location
In case there is no real-time tracking endpoint available, this field will contain the latest location of the entity being tracked. The Provider Platform will update this value everytime the Application Platform calls the track API.
status
string
This value indicates if the tracking is currently active or not. If this value is active, then the Application Platform can begin tracking the order. If this value is inactive, the tracking URL is considered to be expired and the Application Platform should stop tracking the order.

Description: Contains any additional or extended inputs required to confirm an order. This is typically a Form Input. Sometimes, the selection of catalog elements is not enough for the Provider Platform to confirm an order. For example, to confirm a flight ticket, the airline requires details of the passengers along with information on baggage, and identity, in addition to the class of ticket. Similarly, a logistics company may require details on the nature of the shipment in order to confirm the shipping. A recruiting firm may require additional details on the applicant in order to confirm a job application. For all such purposes, they can choose to send this object attached to any object in the catalog that is required to be sent while placing the order. This object can typically be sent at an item level or at the order level. The item level XInput will override the Order level XInput as it indicates a special requirement of information for that particular item. Hence the Application Platform must render a separate form for the Item and another form at the Order level before confirmation.
Fields:
form
Form details to capture input
required
boolean
Indicates whether the form data is mandatorily required by the Provider Platform to confirm the order.
