Authentication

The Bluecart api uses AWS Signature authentication, there’s a document that explain how to use it https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/sig-v4-authenticating-requests.html

To authenticate the API needs the following:

  • Access Key ID
  • Secret Access Key
  • API Key
  • Region: us-east-1
  • Service Name : execute-api

In order to get the authentication the keys need to be created in the Bluecart app. To do so login and go to Settings-> API Access Credentials, after clicking on Create Access Credentials the keys will be generated. Refer to the following images.
