Body
application/json
Payload for Signature generation
Your Client ID from the Niobi Dashboard under Workspace > Integrations.
Example:
"K1PoY1WYricSpXh6Wm24txxxxxxxxxx"
The exact title of your integration as registered in the Dashboard. Case-sensitive.
Example:
"Niobi integration"
A unique random string you generate per request. Ensures no two signatures are identical.
Example:
"mySalt12342423"
The parameters for your target endpoint. Structure depends on the endpoint you are calling (Collections, Disbursements, etc.).
