Authentication
Tulu Switch API authentication guide! To keep your transactions secure, we require all API requests to be authenticated. This guide will walk you through the authentication process step by step, ensuring you can seamlessly integrate our APIs into your application.
Overview
Tulu Switch APIs use cryptographic authentication to protect your transactions from fraud. When you create a Tulu Switch account, you’ll receive API keys that are required for authentication.
- Bearer Token Authentication: Used for all API requests after generating a Bearer Token.
API KEYS
- Your API keys are auto-generated after you fill in and submit your webhook URL. They can be found on your dashboard under the Settings section.
Generating API Key:
Sample code
# Step 1: Log in to your Tulu Switch dashboard
# Step 2: Navigate to the Settings "API" section
# Step 3: Generate a new API key
Generating a Bearer Token
The Bearer Token has an expiry time of 24 hours. Be sure to regenerate it before it expires.
