Summary0004797: /track/transaction takes public keys among parameters
DescriptionRight now, this call takes the instance as a plain string. It should also
provide the way to pick an instance via its public key.

For example, GET /track/transaction/?tid=x&instance_pub=BASE32PUBLICKEY

The reason is that when FEs want to track transactions they firstly get /history from BEs which return only instances' *keys* per history entry.

I don't understand this report, can we discuss it?

The /history's (by merchant backend) response is a list of orders
that occurred over the time. Each list's element is associated with
a merchant instance (the one who fulfilled that order).

In earlier version of this API, we used to return history elements from
_all_ instances, basically mixing them in the same response. For some reason,
in this old API, each history element referred to its instance using
the instance's public key.

Now, since /track/transaction wants the instance as a instance's *name*,
the backoffice needed to do some extra work to retrieve the instance's
name starting from the instance's public key it got from /history beforehand.

So this bug wanted to change the type of /track/transaction's 'instance'
argument from 'name' to public key, so it can avoid that extra work needed
to retrieve the instance's name.

Nonetheless, this bug is now obsolete, as history elements now mention the
associated instance by their _names_, so no extra work is needed anymore.

Let me know if you want more details.

If the discussion is over, feel free to close this.

I think I understand, and if no more change is required anyway, yes, we can resolve this.
