About secret keys

In order for Maxsight and your integration to communicate securely, you must generate a secret key that's shared with Maxsight to be used for signing requests.

Maxsight signs requests using this secret key. You can then verify that a request came from Maxsight and is authentic.

Secret key format

The generated secret key should be a Base64 encoded, 32-byte string.

The resulting Base64 encoded, 32-byte secret key should be approximately 44 characters in length including the padding. More information on the Base64 encoding used can be found in RFC4648 §4.
