API Keys

Requests to the Credit Key Merchant API can be authenticated using your account's API keys. Every merchant account is provided separate keys for test and live transactions. All API requests exist in either test or live mode, and objects in one mode cannot be manipulated by objects in the other.

Retrieve your API keys

Staging API keys are available in the staging portal.
Production API keys are available in the production portal.

Please contact Credit Key support if you do not have access to the merchant portal.

Security

Your Public Key is not private. It is used to identify your account with Credit Key. It can safely be published in your documentation and used in code snippets.

The Shared Secret should be kept confidential. Your account’s shared secret can be used to perform requests to the Credit Key API.
