Authorization

The Finrax API's authorization scheme

When authorizing against the Finrax REST API, one must provide a standard HTTP Authorization header in the following format:

'Authorization: FRX-API api-key=<your_api_key>,
                        signature=<signature>,
                        timestamp=<unix_timestamp>'

API credentials consist of an API key and an API secret, forming a pair together. The key must be passed with each request in the Authorization header’s API-Key component and the API secret is used for the generation of the Signature component. The Timestamp component must be an integer value representing the current UNIX epoch time in milliseconds.
