Private API & Webhooks

The Private API lets you build integrations with signed webhook alerts for exchange rate conditions.

Private API Authentication

All /client/* endpoints require a public key and a private key sent in the request headers.

X-Api-KeyYour public key (lsp_pub_...)

X-Api-SecretYour private key (lsp_prv_...)

Example Request

curl -X GET https://lirascope.syria-cloud.sy/api/v1/client/me \
  -H "X-Api-Key: lsp_pub_a1b2c3..." \
  -H "X-Api-Secret: lsp_prv_d4e5f6..."

⚠️ The private key is shown only once at creation time. Save it immediately in a secure location.

Content-Type: application/json
X-LiraScope-Signature: sha256=<hex-digest>
X-LiraScope-Event: rate_alert

Example Response

{
  "event": "rate_alert",

Signature Verification

Verify the payload authenticity using HMAC-SHA256 with your public key as the secret.

// JavaScript / Node.js
const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifySignature(body, publicKey, signatureHeader) {
  const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha256', publicKey)
    .update(body).digest('hex');
  const received = signatureHeader.replace('sha256=', '');
  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
    Buffer.from(expected), Buffer.from(received)
  );
}

Webhook Reliability

Webhooks that fail 10 consecutive times are automatically disabled.
Re-enable via the dashboard or the PUT /client/webhooks/{id} endpoint.
The lastDeliveryStatusCode and consecutiveFailures fields show delivery health.
