## Authentication

All API endpoints except the authentication, are authenticated using a signature based mechanism introduced in the authentication flow.

```json theme={null}
{
  "client_id": "string",
  "sender": "string",
  "signature": "string",
  "timestamp": "string",
  "salt": "string",

}
```
