Authentication

Requires x-auth-token and x-device-id headers. Obtain these by calling the login endpoint with your Bayse account credentials.
You can also create API keys in the Bayse web app at app.bayse.markets/settings/api-keys, or in the web app, via More > Account Settings > API Keys in the Developer Tool section. Use this endpoint when you want to create keys programmatically.

​

The secretKey is only shown once. Store it securely — it cannot be retrieved again. If lost, rotate the key to generate a new one.
