Authentication

API Keys

Koalafi has both protected apis and unprotected apis. For unprotected apis we authorize your request based on a Public Dealer ID and for protected we use a Private API key that are passed up via a header in the request. Using these values will allow you to securely access our apis.

How to Obtain

During dealer onboarding you will be issued a public dealer id and a private api key. In order to call our unprotected apis you will need to provide this value in a public-dealer-id header for each request.

{
  "public-dealer-id":"<public dealer id value>"
}

For our protected APIs you will need to add a private-api-key header to the protected request.

{
  "public-dealer-id":"<public dealer id value>",
  "private-api-key":"<private api key value>",
}
