The mechanism of authorization of queries in Coin Accepted system is exactly the same like in .
To perform a valid authentication you need to use API public and secret keys to generate a sign. You can generate keys by going to the Pages tab under the Management section, and then click Add Store.
The generated pair of keys will only support a specific store and for each store, you should generate them separately.
The parameters must be sent in JSON format which allows you to generate a hash.
In order to correctly execute a query for any method, the following authorization parameters must be present in the header:
Header | Description |
|---|---|
API-Key | Public API key. |
API-Hash | HMAC("SHA512", public_key + current_timestamp + JSON_body_parameters, private_key) |
operation-id | One time, randomly generated UUID. |
Request-Timestamp | Current time in the UNIX Timestamp format. The same value must be used to generate the hash. |
Content-Type | Two-part identifier of the file format, by default: application/json. |
API-Hash is HMAC based hash generated for body parameters using SHA512 algorithm and your private key to sign. It contains following data:
- Public key
- Current timestamp of operation
- Body parameters in JSON format
- Private key to sign (in some libraries it is an additional parameter)
Example authorization headers and generation in NodeJS:
API-Key: 12345f6f-1b1d-1234-a973-a10b1bdba1a1
