Authentication

The API consumer must have an API key and an API secret to authenticate requests. VTS will provide these credentials to authorized API consumers.

To authenticate a request, use the API Key and API Secret as the username and password, respectively, for the request’s Authorization header.

You can test authorization with the following code:

curl -u <API Key>:<API Secret> https://api.vts.com/api/connect/v1

curl -u <API Key>:<API Secret> https://sandbox.vts.com/api/connect/v1

📘
Make sure to replace and with your API key and API Secret, respectively.

The above command returns XML as shown below. The Authorized tag will be true if the credentials are valid and false otherwise:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Connect>
	<ID>166</ID>
	<Authorized>true</Authorized>
</Connect>

HTTP Basic: Access denied.
