Authentication

Authenticate your API calls by including your secret key in the Authorization header of every request you make. You can manage your API keys from the dashboard .

❗️

Secure your secret key

Do not commit your secret keys to git, or use them in client-side code.

Authorization headers should be in the following format: Authorization: YOUR SECRET_KEY

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.

Authentication Steps

Install HTTP Client

You need to install axios if you are using Node.js and requests if you are using Python.

JavaScript

$ npm install axios

Python

$ pip install requests

Import required libraries

Before you get started, you need to import the required libraries for languages specified below.

JavaScript

const axios = require(‘axios’)

Python

import requests
import json

Set configuration variables

You would also need to set all the configuration variables needed to make a HTTP request. Replace Authorization: YOUR SECRET_KEY with the secret key that you get from the B54 dashboard .

JavaScript

const headers = {
    ‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’,
    ‘Authorization’: ‘ <YOUR SECRET KEY>’
}

var config = {
  method: 'METHOD',// Enter request type here: GET, POST,PUT, DELETE
  url: 'http://api.b54.co/api/customer_partners/....',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': '{{YOUR SECRET KEY}}'
  }
};

cURL

url = "https://api.b54.co/api/customer_partners/..."
headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Authorization': 'Bearer {{YOUR SECRET KEY}}'
}
