Billing data

Important:
- To obtain the response with the new version, send the header 'x-version: 2'
- This change to v2 only impacts MLA, MLB, MLM, MLC, MCO, and MEC; the other sites (MLU, MPE, MLV) continue with the first version of the resource.
- We will soon remove the previous version of the /billing_info resource for the sites mentioned earlier.
- For MEC, this is the first time we are publishing this resource, so there is no need to replace the previous version, just adopt the new one.

To bill a sale you need to have the buyer's data which are available in Orders resource, more specifically, in /orders/order_id/billing_info.

Query billing data

To get the information about a buyer's billing data contained in an order, make the following call. Request:

curl -X GET \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -H 'x-version:2' \
  https://api.mercadolibre.com/orders/$ORDER_ID/billing_info

Example:

curl -X GET \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -H 'x-version:2' \
  https://api.mercadolibre.com/orders/1691789796/billing_info
