Authorization | API PayStar

INFO

This section explains how to obtain authorization keys, generate a token, modify keys, and configure either Test or Production mode.

Important

Each flow (e.g., deposits and payouts) will have separate authorization keys. Make sure to use the correct key for each type of operation.

Requesting an Authorization Token

Please contact your Account manager to obtain your authorization credentials. You can request one of the following options:

A publicKey and privateKey pair

A pre-generated bearer token

⚠️ Note: Authorization keys have two possible statuses — test mode and production.
You can start with test mode, and later either request to switch status to production or request a new Authorization keys.

If you suspect your keys may have been compromised, please request a new key pair immediately.

If you plan to receive Сallbacks, make sure to review the signature verification process described in the Callbacks section.

How to Generate a Bearer Token

Bearer tokens are generated using JWT (JSON Web Token) with the HS256 algorithm. The token payload includes your publicKey, and it is signed using your privateKey.

Payload structure:

publicKey: your public key that corresponds to the private key used for signing

privateKey: used to sign the JWT (not included in the token itself)

Python Example

Requirements: Install the pyjwt library via pip install pyjwt.

.NET Core Example

Requirements: Install the System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt package via NuGet.
