Using Signature (Recommended)
If you use one of the supplied SDKs, there is no reason to use the code in the following section as the signature can be generated by calling the generate_signature function.
Overview
To communicate with our system we require a signature on each request to ensure that both parties are who they say they are. To calculate your signature, you will need your
partner ID and API Key for Signature, both of which are available on the portal.API Key for Signature
You can find and generate your an API key here. The key is unique to each environment, so you will need a different key for the sandbox and production environments. You can rotate your API key any time, however your previous key will be immediately disabled.
Partner ID
You will need to know your partner ID, to create the signature. Your partner ID can be viewed when logged into the portal. To calculate your signature you will need to input your partner ID as a string, as explained below
Your partner ID:
85String Value of your partner ID:
"085"Generating the signature
Follow the steps below to generate your signature
- 1.Create a timestamp in an ISO date format
- 2.
- 3.Update the function message with timestamp created in 1, your partner Id, and "sid_request" string
- 4.Base64 encode the encrypted hash
Example code for creating the signature

hmac.update(timestamp) hmac.update(partner_id)
