API keys are used to authenticate your requests to the Coinom API.
Each merchant has its own API keys, which are automatically generated when you create a merchant.

​
Overview

An API key allows your application to securely communicate with Coinom. You will use your API key to:
  • Create payments
  • Check transaction status
  • Access merchant-related endpoints

​
Where to Find Your API Key

To access your API keys:
  1. Log in to your Coinom dashboard
  2. Navigate to Merchants
  3. Select your merchant
  4. Open the API Keys section

​
API Key Types

​
Secret Key

  • Used for server-side requests
  • Must be kept private
  • Never expose it in frontend code

​
Public Key (optional)

  • Used for client-side integrations
  • Safe to expose in frontend environments

​
Using Your API Key

Include your API key in the request header: 
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

​
Example Request

curl https://api.coinom.com/v1/payments \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

​
Security Best Practices

  • Never share your secret API key publicly
  • Do not store keys in client-side code
  • Use environment variables to store keys
  • Rotate your API keys periodically

​
Regenerating API Keys

If your API key is compromised, regenerate it immediately.
  1. Go to your Merchant Dashboard
  2. Open the API Keys section
  3. Click Regenerate Key
⚠️ Regenerating a key will invalidate the old key instantly.
