At Kuda, we've designed our Business API with a laser focus on security and access control. We're committed to protecting your sensitive data and ensuring that only authorized users can access our API services. Here's how we keep your information safe and sound:
Single Endpoint Architecture
We've gone for a streamlined approach with our single endpoint architecture. What does this mean for you?
All operations flow through one central point
Better control and monitoring of API requests
Enhanced security with a single entry point for all API interactions
Think of it as having one super-secure front door instead of multiple entrances to keep an eye on.
Authentication and Access Control
We're serious about keeping the wrong hands off your data. That's why:
All API calls require authentication
You'll need a unique alphanumeric Kuda-generated Business API Key
This key is linked to your Kuda developer account
It's like having a special, impossible-to-guess password for your API fortress.
Access Token Generation
Before you can start making requests, you'll need to get an access token. Here's how it works:
Make a "Get Access Token" request
Provide your Kuda developer/business email and apiKey
Use the generated access token in all subsequent API requests
This extra step is like adding a second lock to your already secure door.
Request Structure and Validation
We're sticklers for proper structure. All requests must include:
Service Type: Tells us what operation you want to perform
Request Reference: Your unique tracking number for each request
Data: The main parameters of your request
Our API gateway checks every request against these requirements. If something's not right, it gets bounced back. No exceptions!
Secure Communication
When you talk to our API, we make sure no one's eavesdropping:
All communication is encrypted using HTTPS/SSL
Your sensitive data stays confidential as it travels across the network
It's like having a private, soundproof room for all your API conversations.
Monitoring and Logging
We're always on guard:
Comprehensive monitoring and logging track API usage
We keep an eye out for any suspicious activities
All requests and responses are logged with important details like timestamps and IP addresses
We regularly analyze these logs to catch and fix any issues fast
Think of it as having a vigilant security team working 24/7 to keep your data safe.
We're committed to maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance. By implementing these measures, we ensure that your data and transactions are protected with the utmost care.
Remember, security is a team effort. Always keep your API keys and access tokens safe and never share them with unauthorized parties. If you ever suspect any security issues, don't hesitate to contact our support team immediately.
