Introduction to Prune API Authentication

Prune API utilizes a key-based authentication approach, which is fundamental for securing access to its various endpoints. This method ensures that only authorized users can interact with the API, thereby protecting sensitive data and operations transferred via these endpoints.

Test Keys and Live Keys

Prune's API services offer two distinct modes, each with specialized keys for accessing its various functionalities:

  • Test Keys: These keys grant access to the test environment. In this environment, you can create dummy accounts and execute dummy transactions. No real money is transacted here, and endpoints function virtually the same as they do in the production environment. This allows for safe and thorough testing.

  • Live Keys: In contrast, the live environment involves real transactions and real money. Please ensure all integration processes are thoroughly completed and tested in the sandbox environment before switching to the live environment.

Both Live and Test Keys can be found conveniently within your organization's API control dashboard.
