All Merit API calls require API credentials for authentication:
- Api ID
- API Key
These credentials are used to calculate a unique signature to every API request. This signature is used to authenticate given request to your company and ensure message integrity.
How to obtain API credentials?
For your company, you’ll be given a unique Api ID and Api Key. The admin user can generate and reset API ID and Key in Merit Palk Settings > API settings > New API key.
Keep your Api ID and Api Key secret. They should be guarded just as you would your regular account password. If you feel your ID and Key has been compromised, you can reset it by deleting and re creating a new ID and Key.
