Authentication

Ecovelo authenticates your API requests using your account’s API keys. If you do not include your key when making an API request, or use one that is incorrect or outdated, Ecovelo returns an error.

Every account is provided with separate keys for testing and for running live transactions.

Warning

Your secret API key can be used to make any API call on behalf of your account, such as starting a trip. Treat your secret API key as you would any other password. Grant access only to those who need it. Ensure it is kept out of any version control system you may be using.

Our API is intended to be called from a secured backend. If you need to call it from a frontend, you must use a proxy or gateway with a proper JWT token (or equivalent). We can help you implementing it, please feel free to contact us.
