Authentication .

The Tradesync API uses API keys to authenticate requests. Each request uses a key and secret pair with Basic authorization. Your key:secret pair must be Base64 encoded and added to the header of each request.

Key and secret pairs can be generated and managed via the web application here. Once you have your first set of keys, you can also use the API to view or generate more pairs.

Your username and password for the web application are not used for API requests.

Required header

Authorization: Basic <base64-encoded credentials>

Sample http request with encoded auth

GET /account HTTP/1.0
Host: app.tradesync.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Basic SDdWTopzOUpiS0pRQ1pVdGY3V3Q6VVE4SzZXaWJmZVZtbDBRelpMaXO

        if(response.ok){
            return response.json();
        }
        throw response;
    }).then((data) => {
        console.log(data);
