Westpac PayWay REST API

First-party Westpac payment API (beyond CDR). PayWay is Westpac's merchant payment platform; its public REST API v1 processes real-time credit-card and bank-account payments, refunds, pre-authorisations and captures, plus a customer vault, single-use tokens, EMV 3-D Secure authentication, bulk payment files, surcharges and merchant configuration. Uses HTTP Basic auth with a publishable or secret API key over TLS 1.2+ at api.payway.com.au/rest/v1. Fully documented publicly but NO downloadable OpenAPI/Swagger is published (reference docs and Postman-based exploration only), so no machine-readable spec is wired.
