How to build a Merchant Brand query
The Woosmap Merchant API supports POST request, passing in your dirty transactions as JSON objects in the request body. There are currently two different endpoints which allows retrieving different level of information. Here is how to retrieve clean names and logos.
Requests should be built as follows:
curl -X POST \
https://api.woosmap.com/merchants/brand?private_key={your_private_key} \
-d '{"merchants":[ {
"dirty_name": "APPLE.COM/BILL",
"description": "APPLE.COM/BILL ITUNES.COM IE WEB 2232445* BR11",
"country": "IE"
}]}'

One request cannot accept more than 1000 dirty merchants. If you need to clean more merchants, please do multiple requests.
Optional parameters

The description is provided to you by the payment provider and is the transaction description attached to any payment.
