How to obtain the credentials to perform the authentication process.
The credentials you will need to use Matic's services are the SDK key, the Consumer key and the Consumer secret, these credentials are used to authenticate your company when using our solutions either through the SDK or the REST API services.
The SDK key allows a company to access the functionality offered in the Matic SDK. The Consumer Key and Consumer Secret are used as HTTP Basic user and HTTP Basic password, respectively; to make requests on behalf of your company in the Matic REST API.
To obtain the credentials that you will use in the authentication process with our REST API or SDK you must first have a company created on our platform, then you must log into the Matic Portal and locate the Settings section, once there you must follow the instructions below:
