Authentication

All requests to the Monirates REST API must be authenticated using your API key. You can generate and manage your API key from the Monirates business portal.

​
How It Works

Pass your API key in the request headers using the x-api-key key: 
x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY
This applies to both sandbox and production environments. The only difference between environments is which API key you use and which base URL you target.

​
Example Request

curl https://interface.monirates.com/your-endpoint \
  -H "x-api-key: MR_v1_xxx" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

​
Getting Your API Key

  1. Log in to your Monirates business portal:
  2. Go to the Developer section.
  3. Create or copy your API key.

​
Sandbox vs. Production Keys

EnvironmentBase URLPortal
Sandboxhttps://dev.interface.monirates.comdev.business.monirates.com
Productionhttps://interface.monirates.combusiness.monirates.com
Your sandbox and production API keys are separate and not interchangeable. Always use the correct key for each environment. Never hardcode your API key in source code — use environment variables instead.

​
Security Best Practices

  • Store your API key in environment variables (e.g., MONIRATES_API_KEY).
  • Never commit your API key to version control.
  • Rotate your key immediately if it is ever exposed.
  • Use your sandbox key for development and testing, and your production key only for live traffic.
