Authentication

To authenticate your system with talque you will need two identifiers (strings):

  • API client ID, which identifies you but need not be kept secret.

  • API secret, which you must keep secret

To use the authentication for a HTTP call you need to pass them as headers:

X-TQ-CLIENT-ID: nHEe3ZDiuvPMighaRXtE
X-TQ-SECRET: qqHWYhTSpbYExzde5CM5

As always, HTTP headers must be latin-1 encoded. Both API client ID and secret only consist of plain ASCII characters.

Make sure to not use underscores in headers, as the serving infrastructure will filter them out. The client id header name is X-TQ-CLIENT-ID, only letters and minus signs.
