Authentication and Signature Calculation

Authentication

To authenticate you, our withdrawal API uses API Keys in all requests. API Keys can be obtained from Settings -> API -> Withdrawals.

The API keys between Staging and Production are different.

There are 3 credentials you will need:

• Your user: Key

• Your password: API Passphrase

• Your secret key to generate the signature: API Signature

PUT IMAGE

Authentication to the API is done using HTTP Basic Auth. The API Keys must be in all requests such as the username and password.

Your username and password are sent as API KEY and API Passphrase respectively in the body of the request.

API keys, like whitelisted IPs, are ways to authenticate yourself, therefore, please do not share credentials in any public setting.

Headers

All requests sent through Cashouts API must have the following headers.

Header	Format	Mandatory	Description
Payload-Signature	String	Yes	HMAC256 of the whole JSON Payload using your API Signature
Content-Type	String	Yes	application/json
User-Agent	String	Yes	Server client user agent

Calculating the Signature

All calls to our Cashouts APIs must contain a Payload-Signature field on the header used to ensure request integrity and to authenticate yourself since you will use your own API Signature (secret key) to generate and encrypt a hash.

It has to be created using HMAC-SHA-256 (RFC 2104) encoding and the payload is made of the entire JSON Payload sent in the body of the requests and notifications.

Use your API Signature to create the HASH

The Payload-Signature field on the header of the requests will contain the hash generated from hashing the entire JSON Payload:

Payload-Signature: HMAC256(jsonPayload)

Example:

Payload-Signature: 223a9dd4784726f1536c926da7dc69155a57612c5c3c1e1b429c367a5eee67cf

Notes

The Payload-Signature value is case-sensitive and must be sent in lower case.

In case the jsonPayload value is empty, use an empty string instead.

The jsonPayload should be converted to UTF-8 before hashing it to prevent Invalid Signature error when sending characters with different encodings.

Examples

Check the examples below on how to calculate the Payload-Signature.

Java

import javax.crypto.Mac;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;
import org.apache.commons.net.util.Base64;

String json_payload = "{ \"login\": \"cashout_API_Key\", \"pass\": \"cashout_API_Passphrase\",   \"external_id\": \"123456789\",  \"document_id\": \"1234567899\",  \"document_type\": \"\",   \"cashout_type\": \"BANK\", \"beneficiary_name\": \"Test User\", \"beneficiary_lastname\": \"Test User\",  \"country\": \"MX\",  \"amount\": 2000,  \"currency\": \"MXN\",  \"email\": \"[e-mail]\", \"notification_url\": \"http:\\/\\/tupaypagos.com\\/notification\",  \"bank_code\": \"072\",\"bank_branch\": \"\",  \"bank_account\": \"1234567890\", \"account_type\": \"C\", \"address\": \"\"}";
String secretKey = "cashout_secret_key";
Mac hasher = Mac.getInstance("HmacSHA256");
hasher.init(new SecretKeySpec(secretKey.getBytes(), "HmacSHA256"));
String payload_signature = Base64.encodeBase64String(hasher.doFina
