Receiving Json Data in a Yii2 basic application controller

I am integrating Orange Money Payment gateway with my Yii2 basic Application to be able to receive local payments on this application. In this API, when the user initiates a transaction, I receive some data after sending a curl request to the Orange money API. I store this data in my Database with a key call notif_token. The user is then redirected to orange payment portal where the payment is done. when the User completes a payment process on their portal, they send me json response to a particular url call Notifcation URL. I am suppose to receive this data, update my Database and grant access to this user to some resources.

Everything works well till the level of receiving the feedback in from them through the notification URL.

I have tried all I know to receive this information but to no avail since this action is not an api url. I have written my action as shown below but I do not know what I am missing.( might be a configuration for this action or something).

public function actionOnotification(){
    \Yii::$app->response->format = \yii\web\Response::FORMAT_JSON;
    $request = \yii::$app->request->post();
    $transaction =OrangeFeedback::findOne(['notif_token'=>$request['notif_token']]);
    $transaction->status = $request['status'];
    $transaction->txnid =  $request['txnid'];
    $transaction->save();
    //do some processing here

}

I do not know how to solve this problem as I feel I am missing a fundamental concept here( might be on how to configure a Yii2 basic application action to receive json data, might be how to convert that action into an API call URL or something which I can not yet figure out). Any help on this will be greatly appreciated as I can't find any resources online to help me.

To receive JSON data you need to configure your request component in the config:

'components' => [
    ...
    'request' => [
        'parsers' => [
            'application/json' => 'yii\web\JsonParser',
        ]
    ],
    ...
]

See the docs for more information
