How to get the secret and access key to use Tolq API

You can generate your access credentials from inside your Tolq account, in the Integrations section:

Using the API

From here you can begin to make API requests. Please note that if you want to make paid requests, you will need to set your payment details in your personal account.

The Tolq API is a REST(Representational State Transfer) based API communicating over JSON. Authentication takes place as HTTP Basic over a secured connection.

Make sure that you set the Content-Type header to application/json. To test the API, you can use an application like Postman. Set the Authorization to Basic, and use the access key as username and the access secret as password.

Recovering the keys

You will have access to your access key from your account's Integration section. Due to security reasons the secret is not recoverable.

You can also regenerate your secret and access key in your account Integration section, by clicking on "regenerate key":
