Public APIs - Guide for developers to access our endpoints.

This documentation will guide developers with all the information needed to interact with our API endpoints through the secret key and token.

Context

1. Generating secret key
2. Why the secret key?
3. How to generate the token?
4. How can we access the data - API endpoints?

Step - 1. Generating secret key

• This secret key will be unique for each user.
• The application will generate this and will be available in the dashboard

Step - 2. Why secret/public key?

• For each individual user secret key helps to create a token
• The public key is used to validate the token generated by passing in the request headers

Step - 3. How to generate the token?

• The User / Store has to generate the token(JWT) using the secret key

Python

**jwt.encode(payload, JWT_SECRET, JWT_ALGORITHM)**
# Payload - Data to be passed - If no data to be passed - payload will be {}
#JWT_SECRET - Secret key from the account
#JWT_ALGORITHM - HS256

JavaScript

import jwtEncode from '<https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/+esm>';

const secret = 'VQB Private API key / JWT_SECRET';
const data = {};
const jwt = jwtEncode(data, secret);

console.log(jwt);

STEP - 4. How can we access the data - API endpoints?
