Authentication

For Nuvei to authenticate REST API 2.0 requests, the merchant must include its API key in the header:

Authentication: X-API-KEY: {your API key}

The Nuvei Integration Team provides the API key to the merchant.

Example POST Request:​

POST  /payment-api/payments HTTPS/1.1
Host: api.nuvei.com
Content-Type: application/json
x-api-key: {your API key}
