Authentication

How to authenticate requests to the Gateway API

Authentication is required to access protected endpoints in the AmploPay API.

Getting credentials

To use the API, you need a public key and a private key. These credentials can be generated in your account dashboard.

1. Access the AmploPay dashboard.
2. Go to the API section in the integrations area.
3. Click Generate credentials.
4. Store the keys in a secure location. The private key will not be displayed again.

Required headers

Include the headers below in every authenticated request:

Header	Description
x-public-key	Your public key
x-secret-key	Your secret key

Axios example

The example below is illustrative only. It shows how to send the headers, but it does not represent a specific endpoint.

await axios.get("https://app.amplopay.com/api/v1", {
  headers: {
    "x-public-key": "SUA_CHAVE_PUBLICA_AQUI",
    "x-secret-key": "SUA_CHAVE_PRIVADA_AQUI"
  }
})

Security

• Never share your private key.
• Store keys in environment variables, vaults, or secret managers.
• Never include keys in frontend code.
• Never commit credentials to repositories.
• Always use HTTPS.
• Monitor credential usage and regenerate keys if compromise is suspected.

Support

If you have questions about credentials or authentication, contact the AmploPay support team through your dashboard.
