Authentication

The PaysGator API uses API Keys for authentication. All requests should include your API Key in the X-Api-Key header.

API Keys​

You can find your API keys in the PaysGator Dashboard under the Developers section. There are two types of keys:

  • LIVE Keys: Used for real transactions.
  • TEST Keys: Used for testing and integration. No real money is moved.

[!IMPORTANT] Keep your API keys secret. Do not share them or include them in client-side code (frontend).

How to Authenticate​

Include the X-Api-Key header in all your API requests.

X-Api-Key: pg_live_your_api_key_here

Example Curl Request​

curl -X GET "https://paysgator.com/api/v1/wallet/balance" \
     -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Error Responses​

  • 401 Unauthorized: The API Key is missing or invalid.
  • 403 Forbidden: You do not have permission to access the requested resource (e.g., trying to access a LIVE transaction with a TEST key).
