Authentication

To ensure the security of your API calls, it's essential to include your unique secret key within the Authorization header for each request. You can conveniently handle and manage your API keys directly from your dashboard.

For your convenience, we offer both API token keys and biz-numbers. These are designed for various purposes, such as initiating disbursements with Glyde, fetching transactions, and checking balances, among others. API token keys should be kept confidential at all times. If you suspect that your API token key has been compromised or if you need to reset it for any reason, you can easily manage it directly from the dashboard.

Authorization

Authorization is a critical aspect of accessing our services. To authorize your access, you need to include your API token key in the Authorization header of every request you make. This ensures that your requests are authenticated and granted the necessary permissions.

Biz-Number

The biz-number functions as the unique identifier for the business initiating the API call. It plays a pivotal role in distinguishing and attributing actions and transactions to the specific business account. When making API calls, it is essential to include the biz-number to authenticate and authorize the requests linked to your business accurately. This practice ensures accountability and guarantees that actions are appropriately associated with the correct business entity.
