Generating your Authorization Token.

Create your authorization token doing a POST request using your public key and private key. You can find the API Keys in your account API Settings section, from the Ecart Pay dashboard.

Once authorized you will receive a token which you will be able to use to make requests to Ecart Pay endpoints. The new token has an expiration of 1 hour. So you should create a new token after 1 hour in order to avoid getting the Unauthorized error through the API.

Make sure you keep your token fully secure and delete the token when you don't need it anymore. The response will have the following structure:- token: A string representing the authorization token.

Base64 Encode

Your public key and private key will be combined with a : to form a base64-encoded string. This encoded string will be sent as a header: authorization: Basic {base64-encoded string}
