Authenticating with the v1 API

API v1 authentication is done using basic auth.

You can create a v1 API application by connecting to our Developer application and generate credentials.

To authenticate your requests, you must add an Authorization header whose value will be Basic xxxx where xxxx is a base 64 encoding of a string composed of:

• Your access key.
• The : character.
• Your secret key.

Example in PHP:

$credentials = base64_encode($access_key.':'.$secret_key);

Using your login email/password is still possible for backwards compatibility reasons, but not recommended.
