Getting Started
Authenticate
To use Quantum Metal's APIs, you need to authenticate your API requests. This topic describes how to authenticate your API requests using your API key.
API Key
An API key is a unique identifier that is provided by us or generated by you via our web console.
API Key must be passed into the Key header of each API request.
GET {path} HTTP/1.1
Key: {API Key}
Gateway Protocol
Services are provided in the form of APIs. The gateway protocol is a set of rules that facilitates message transmission between your application and Quantum Metal.
Message Signing
The signature of a message is a string that is generated by signing the message with your Secret Key. The signature is used to verify that the message is sent by you.
