API Authentication
The Nilon Gateway API utilizes API keys for authentication of requests. API keys are required to access and interact with the API endpoints. Please ensure that you securely manage and protect your API keys, as they grant privileged access to the system. Avoid sharing your API keys with unauthorized individuals.
To authenticate your requests to the API, include the API key in the request headers as specified below. All API requests must be made securely over HTTPS. Requests made without proper authentication will not be processed.
The Nilon API key is provided by Nilon administrators specifically for your developer integration. It must be included in the request header to authenticate your API calls.
Sample API Key: d9694a00-adea-01cb-7a56-c43dd0ebf722
To request a sandbox API key for your development integration, contact [email protected].
Note that the API key is tied to a merchant terminal, and the setup of your merchant terminals will be discussed during the onboarding process.
HTTP Methods Usage
- POST: Use the POST method to create new resources within the collection. When processing transactions, the OnePay gateway expects POST requests from clients.
