SDK Authentication

How to Create a Client Key for SDK Integration

The IDWise SDK requires a client key for secure client-side API calls. This key is integral in the Authenticate API to generate a temporary JWT token, which authorizes all subsequent API interactions from the client-side.

Steps to Generate a Client Key:

1. Access the Developer Admin Portal
   Log in to the IDWise Admin Portal and navigate to the API Keys section under the developer area.

2. Create a New API Key
   Click on the "Add a New Key" button to initiate the creation of a new client key.

   

3. Select the Environment
   Choose the environment where the key will be used: either Sandbox for testing or Production for live environments. Be sure to select the environment that aligns with your intended use case.

4. Provide a Descriptive Key Name
   Enter a meaningful and descriptive name for the key to help you easily identify it in the future.

5. Set the Key Type
   In the Key Type dropdown, select Client Key. This ensures the key is configured for client-side API calls.

6. Save and Secure the Key
   Once generated, immediately copy or download the key. Please note that for security reasons, the key will not be retrievable again after this step. Ensure it is securely stored for future use.

Notes

• The client key is necessary for any client-side API interaction.
• Ensure you store the key securely, as you won’t be able to retrieve it later.
