API Overview

Get your API keys

All API requests must be authenticated using API keys. Any request without a valid API key will be rejected.

To obtain your merchant API keys:

  1. Sign up at app.thedex.cloud.

  2. After logging in, navigate to the "Merchants" section.

  3. Click the "Add" button and complete the form.

  4. Upon submission, you will receive an API key and a secret key.

These keys are required for all authenticated API requests.

Required API Headers

Each authenticated request must include the following headers:

  • X-EX-APIKEY: Your API key

  • X-EX-PAYLOAD: Base64-encoded JSON request body

  • X-EX-SIGNATURE: HMAC SHA-512 signature generated using your secret key

How to Generate the Signature

  1. Construct your JSON request body with the required parameters for the endpoint you’re calling.

  2. Encode the JSON body to a Base64 string — this becomes your X-EX-PAYLOAD.

  3. Generate an HMAC SHA-512 signature of the Base64-encoded body using your secret key — this becomes your X-EX-SIGNATURE.
