Understanding the Basics of our API:
$apiKey = [YOUR-API-KEY-HERE]; // Replace with your actual API Key
$token = [YOUR-TOKEN-KEY-HERE]; // Replace with your actual Token Key
1. API Keys:
FrillPay employs API keys for authentication. Upon successful registration, you’ll receive unique API key. This key act as credentials to authenticate your API requests with our server.
2. Token Key Usage:
The Token key serves as a decryption key for secure data transmission. It ensures the confidentiality and integrity of the exchanged information between our servers.
3. Security Measures:
FrillPay adheres to industry-standard security protocols. Data encryption, particularly AES encryption/decryption, is implemented to fortify the authentication process.
How to Include Authentication Credentials in API Requests?
1. API Authorization:
Include your API key in the authorization header of your API requests.
This header serves as a secure way to transmit your credentials.
2. Token Key Integration:
Embed your Token key in the encryption process when sending sensitive data.
This ensures that the data remains confidential during transit.
Best Practices for Securing API Integrations:
1. HTTPS Usage:
Always utilize HTTPS to encrypt data in transit.
This mitigates the risk of data interception during communication.
2. Secure Storage:
Safeguard your API keys and Token keys.
Store them securely and avoid hardcoding them in your source code.
3. Regular Key Rotation:
Periodically rotate your API keys for enhanced security.
This practice reduces the risk associated with long-term key usage.
Exploring API Endpoints:
1. API Documentation:
Refer to FrillPay’s API documentation for a comprehensive guide on available endpoints.
Understand the purpose and usage of each endpoint.
2. Test Environment:
Utilize the provided testing environment to experiment with API requests.
This allows you to familiarize yourself with the integration process before moving to the production environment.
By following these guidelines, you’ll ensure a secure, efficient, and smooth integration with FrillPay’s API.
