API documentation

The API is designed as a REST-ful. JSON data format is used for communication. We recommend calling individual methods with application/json header with UTF-8 encoding (Content-Type: application/json; charset = utf-8).

There are two types of methods:

  • public (do not require authorization) 
  • private (require authorization)

To access the private API methods, please get in touch with our customer support to obtain an authorization token {api_key}.

Authorization is executed by sending HTTP header Authorization: Bearer {api_key}

The API is available at the following URL:
/api/{endpoint}

Description: Signature (explained below)

 

Signature

Each transaction contains a "signature" parameter that confirms the data is valid and have not been altered in any way.

In addition to the authorization token {api_key}, you will also receive a private key {secret_key} from customer support. You can use the secret key to verify the "authenticity" of the received data.

Signature calculation:
$secret_key = {secret_key};
$transaction_details = 
{
     "id": "Q96G3MSNW8MPQRTX",
     "status": "complete",
     "depositAddress": "tb1q0pkwdj3pqdp587yrc8sus876kccn5tq577ce5x",
     "depositAmount": "0.0062244",
     “depositTxid": "80bb6cda5036ce277598d949d2e4b3771c56b31ba77b757bf9753a370f16c99",
     "payouts": {
          "mfuAKvSsAMrC7gjbEEb521uc1myeF9BSsc": "0.006"
     },
     "txid": "0ea6f3a702a368ed09830d959f1c82b7d8f65f53a783965514380e123fc8ca4e",
     "fee": 0.0002244,
     "delay": "0",
     "updated": "2022-04-28T09:46:11+00:00",
     "created": "2022-04-28T09:42:41+00:00"
};

$signature = base64_encode(hash_hmac('sha256', implode('|', array_map(function($a) { return is_array($a) ? implode(',', array_keys($a)).','.implode(',', $a) : $a; }, array_values($transaction_details))), $secret_key, TRUE));

Note: the order of the parameters must be identical to the answer. The "signature" parameter does not enter into the calculation.
