You get an API key by creating a project in your Wiro dashboard. Each project has its own API Key and API Secret.
Sign in and go to New Project.
Choose an Auth Method (see below).
Click Create Project.
Copy your API Key and API Secret and store them somewhere safe. The API Secret is only shown at this step.
You can see your API keys later on the Projects page.
Which auth method should I choose?
Signature Based (Recommended): each request sends the
x-api-key,x-signatureandx-nonceheaders. Use this if you call the API from a mobile app or a browser.API Key Only (Simple): just send the
x-api-keyheader. It's simpler, and fine if you call the API from your own backend.
You can't change a project's auth method after it's created. To switch, create a new project.
Good to know
IP Whitelist is optional. Leave it empty to accept requests from any IP address. If you change it later, a new API Secret is generated, so update your integration.
Keep your API Secret private, and never put it in public code or repositories.
Next steps: see Authentication for how to sign requests, and the API documentation for everything else.
