Authentication

Headers

X-API-Key

Include the "X-API-Key" header in your API requests, and ensure it contains your API key.

X-API-Sign

Authenticated requests must be signed using the "X-API-Sign" header. The signature is generated with your private key, encoded payload, and the request method, following the HMAC-SHA512 algorithm:

Generating the signature

HMAC-SHA512 of ( + SHA256()) and base64-decoded 

Signature Calculation Example:

For a POST request, you might calculate the signature as follows:

1. Request Method: POST

2. POST data: SHA256 hash of the JSON payload. Example of payload: "{"name":"John"}"

3. Concatenate the Request Method and SHA256 hash. Example: "POST" + "{"name":"John"}"

4. HMAC-SHA512: Apply HMAC-SHA512 using the concatenated string and the base64-decoded API Key secret

Code examples

JavaScript

const crypto = require('crypto');
function generateSignature(apiSecret, method, body) {
    const payload = JSON.stringify(body);
    const sha256Hash = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(payload).digest('hex');
    const data = method + sha256Hash;
    const signature = crypto.createHmac('sha512', Buffer.from(apiSecret, 'base64')).update(data).digest('base64');
    return signature;
}

// Example Usage:
const apiKey = "your_api_key_here";
const apiSecret = "your_api_secret_here";
const method = "POST";

//When body is empty use empty object {}
const body = {
    "order_direction": "buy",
    "order_type": "limit",
    "pair": "DEMONIZA/USDT",
    "volume": "1",
    "price": "0.85"
};

const signature = generateSignature(apiSecret, method, body);
console.log(`X-API-Sign: ${signature}`);

Python

import hashlib

import json

def generate_signature(api_secret, method, body):
    # sort_keys=False is important, otherwise the signature will be invalid
    payload = json.dumps(body, separators=(',', ':'), sort_keys=False)
    sha256_hash = hashlib.sha256(payload.encode()).hexdigest()
    data = method + sha256_hash
    signature = hmac.new(base64.b64decode(api_secret), data.encode(), hashlib.sha512).digest()
    return base64.b64encode(signature).decode()

# Example Usage:
api_key = "your_api_key_here"
api_secret = "your_api_secret_here"
method = "POST"
body = {
    "order_direction": "buy",
    "order_type": "limit",

    'Content-Type': 'application/json',

PHP

    $signature = base64_encode(hash_hmac('sha512', $data, base64_decode($apiSecret), true));
    return $signature;

// Example Usage:
$apiKey = "your_api_key_here";
$apiSecret = "your_api_secret_here";
$method = "POST";
//When body is empty use empty object {}
$body = (object) [
    "order_direction" => "buy",
