​
Auth Key Overview

  • Function: The Auth Key serves as your identifier when making API requests to OppiWallet
  • Usage: You must include this key with every API request
  • Visibility: This can be considered similar to a public key

​
Implementation

When making requests to the OppiWallet API, include your Auth Key in the request headers: 
const headers = {
  'x-auth-key': 'YOUR_AUTH_KEY',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};

​
Purpose

The Auth Key allows OppiWallet’s systems to:
  • Identify which registered user is making the request
  • Associate the request with your specific API integration
  • Apply the correct permissions and rate limits to your requests

​
Security Considerations

While the Auth Key is similar to a public key, you should still:
  • Avoid unnecessarily exposing it in client-side code
  • Follow proper API key management practices
  • Use environment variables to store the key in your applications
