ParityDeals API uses API keys to authenticate requests. All API requests must be made over HTTPS; calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.
ParityDeals provides two types of API keys for different use cases.
Client API Key
Used for frontend applications where the key is publicly accessible.
Server API Key
Used for backend implementations. This key has more privileges and must be kept secret.
Environment Scoping: API keys are scoped per environment. This means your production and sandbox environments will have separate and distinct API keys.
Important Security Notice: Do not share your Server API Key in any publicly accessible areas such as frontend code, client-side applications, or public repositories.
