Authentication

Authentication is performed using the data sent as part of the request in the headers or as a header block within the data request.

You need to supply 4 pieces of information;

• Your API key as supplied within your account area.
• A key which is used to decode your token.
• A token which is made up by SHA1 encoding your Shared Secret and the key from above. This must be encoded in the following format {SharedSecret}_{Key}.
• A Unique ID. This is for logging purposes and will enable us to locate a request should you require assistance and should be unique for every request.
