Authentication

The API uses Bearer (Token) Authentication to authenticate any request. These tokens are JSON Web Tokens (JWT) which need to be created server side by your application.

​

Create an API key

To sign a JWT, you’ll need to create a new API key. Please contact a Wpay representative to request API key generation. You can store the API key with your code or store it in a secure environment accessible to your application.

​

Server-side SDKs

By far the easiest way to create a JWT is with one of our server-side SDKs.

​

Without SDKs

It is also possible to generate the JWT without our SDKs using any number of open source JWT libraries.
