API Key Types
Swapped Commerce supports two types of API Keys, each designed for a different use-case and secured using the cryptographic method most appropriate for that workflow:
Webhook
Verifying the authenticity of webhook events sent from Swapped to you.
HMAC (symmetric)
Ensures events you receive truly originated from Swapped.
API Client
Signing requests you send to the Swapped Commerce Balance, KYC, and Payout APIs.
Ed25519 (asymmetric)
Strong, tamper-proof request signing without mutual storage private secrets (you store, we forget).
