To authenticate to our API, you have to send the following headers:

• Date - current date, format D, d M Y H:i:s T
• X-PS-Client - Profitshare API USER
• X-PS-Accept - json
• X-PS-Authhmac sha1 result of signature string using PROFITSHARE_API_KEY as key. The signature string is:

  "$request_type$route" . $query_string .'/'. PROFITSHARE_API_USER . $date

PHP Example:

    
        $date = gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s T', time());
        $signature_string = "$request_type$route" . $query_string .'/'. PS_API_USER . $date;
        $auth = hash_hmac('sha1', $signature_string, PS_API_KEY);
        $extra_headers = array(
            "Date: {$date}",
            "X-PS-Client: " . PS_API_USER,
            "X-PS-Accept: json",
            "X-PS-Auth: {$auth}"
        );
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $extra_headers);
    

Javascript Example:

    
        const crypto = require('crypto');
        const https = require('https');
        const qs = require('qs')
        const api_user = "testing";
        const api_key = 'testing';
        const date = (new Date()).toUTCString();
        const signature_string = 'POSTproducts/' + api_user + date;
        const hmac = crypto.createHmac("sha1", api_key);
        const signed = hmac.update(signature_string).digest('hex');

        const data = {};

        const options = {
            hostname: 'api.profitshare.ro',
            port: 443,
            path: '/products',
            method: 'POST',
            form: data,
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
                'Date': date,
                'X-PS-Client': api_user,
                'X-PS-Accept': 'json',
                'X-PS-Auth': signed,
            },
        };

        const req = https.request(options, res => {
            console.log(`statusCode: ${res.statusCode}`);

            res.on('data', d => {
                process.stdout.write(d);
            });
        });

        req.on('error', error => {
            console.error(error);
        });

        req.write(qs.stringify(data));
        req.end();
