Authentication reference

Check what you can do with a private key and a public key.

To create types or customers resources, all you need is your public key.

But authentication on the server is possible only with a private key.

Depending on the resource and the function to be executed, either the public or private key is used:

create resources: POST update resources: PUT fetch resources: GET delete resources: DELETE

Resource	POST	GET	PUT	DELETE
/payments/authorize	private key	private key	not allowed	not allowed
/payments/charges	private key	private key	not allowed	not allowed
/payments/authorize/cancels	private key	private key	not allowed	not allowed
/payments/charges/cancels	private key	private key	not allowed	not allowed

/customers	public key	private key	public key	private key
