Authentication

The Verdata API uses a combination of an API key and your Lender ID for authentication. To acquire your Lender ID and manage your API key, log into the Verdata application and visit the Settings page.

Please be sure to secure your API key and Lender ID! Do not share your API key or Lender ID in publicly accessible locations like client-side code, GitHub, or source control repositories.

For clients to authenticate:

  • The API key should be included in the Authorization HTTP header. The API key should be prefixed by the string literal "Token", with whitespace separating the two strings.

  • For example: Authorization: Token dmVyZGF0YTpFellpcm5QdW5XbDlMeGNjejVVY

  • The Lender ID should be included in the LenderId HTTP header.

  • For example: LenderId: 7ecc1949-93aa-4c70-a13e-48bba4bcaf9c
