RESTful authentication
Updated
Set up authentication for RESTful communication between your app and Agora.
The Speech-to-Text REST APIs use Basic HTTP authentication. Each request must include an Authorization header built from your Agora customer ID and customer secret.
Recommended pattern
- Store customer credentials on the server.
- Generate the Basic Auth credential by Base64-encoding the
customer_id:customer_secretstring. - Send the encoded value in the
Authorization: Basic <credential>request header. - Keep all REST calls on the server side and avoid exposing secrets in clients.
