Credentials

Every API call requires authentication. You need three credentials, which you send in the body of every request:

Field Description
username The email address of your registered account.
password The password of your registered account.
secretkey The secret key issued to your account.

Separate accounts per environment

The development and production environments use separate accounts. You need active credentials for each one. See Endpoints.

Keep your credentials secret

Call the API only from your server. Never put your credentials in browser or mobile app code, and keep them out of version control.

Requirements

To use the API you need to be able to:

  • send HTTPS POST requests with a JSON body, and
  • parse JSON responses.

Any language with an HTTP client works. See Making requests for examples.
