How authentication works
BillSentry uses a two-header model on every request:Your credentials
BillSentry will provision these during onboarding. Store them securely and treat them the same as passwords.Each API customer receives a dedicated API endpoint URL provisioned exclusively for your organization. Do not use another customer’s endpoint URL.Sandbox credentials include a separate endpoint URL and Token URL.
Architecture
Your dedicated API gateway:- Validates the Bearer token signature

x-api-keyis active and bound to your tenant - Proxies the request to the BillSentry processing engine (internal, you do not call this directly)
