Token Authentication Guide ​

Before calling the TaurusX Open API, you need to obtain the following two keys from your Account Manager (AM). Please keep them safe and do not disclose them:

• Access Key: used for identity recognition
• Secret Key: used as encryption credential to generate the Token

After obtaining the keys, you can generate the Token parameter according to the rules below. All Open API requests must include this Token in the request headers for authentication.

Token Parameter Generation Rules ​

The Token parameter generation rules are as follows:

Request Header Example ​

Assuming that the requested URL is https://scaler.taurusx.com/openapi/performance_data, then the request header needs to be added

access-key: 018168163a17d44907669d58ee9ad687
token: a6864d4ef31b09cdc1c5d22214cde5db
timestamp: 1697785289

access-key: 018168163a17d44907669d58ee9ad687
token: a6864d4ef31b09cdc1c5d22214cde5db
timestamp: 1697785289

Example ​

Python Example ​

import time
import hashlib

secret_key = "af6d4b1cbdb4fbe2d1ee838fabfe92fe"
timestamp = str(int(time.time()))

token = hashlib.md5((secret_key + hashlib.md5(timestamp.encode()).hexdigest()).encode()).hexdigest()

print(token)

import time
import hashlib

secret_key = "af6d4b1cbdb4fbe2d1ee838fabfe92fe"
timestamp = str(int(time.time()))

token = hashlib.md5((secret_key + hashlib.md5(timestamp.encode()).hexdigest()).encode()).hexdigest()

print(token)

Go Example ​

package main

import (
	"crypto/md5"
	"encoding/hex"
	"fmt"
	"time"
)

func md5Hash(s string) string {
	hash := md5.Sum([]byte(s))
	return hex.EncodeToString(hash[:])
}

func main() {
	secretKey := "af6d4b1cbdb4fbe2d1ee838fabfe92fe"
	timestamp := fmt.Sprintf("%d", time.Now().Unix())

	token := md5Hash(secretKey + md5Hash(timestamp))

	fmt.Println(token)
}

package main

import (
	"crypto/md5"
	"encoding/hex"
	"fmt"
	"time"
)

func md5Hash(s string) string {
	hash := md5.Sum([]byte(s))
	return hex.EncodeToString(hash[:])
}

func main() {
	secretKey := "af6d4b1cbdb4fbe2d1ee838fabfe92fe"
	timestamp := fmt.Sprintf("%d", time.Now().Unix())

	token := md5Hash(secretKey + md5Hash(timestamp))

	fmt.Println(token)
}

PHP Example ​

<?php
    $secret_key = 'af6d4b1cbdb4fbe2d1ee838fabfe92fe';
    $timestamp = time();
    $token = md5($secret_key.md5($timestamp));
    ?>

<?php
    $secret_key = 'af6d4b1cbdb4fbe2d1ee838fabfe92fe';
    $timestamp = time();
    $token = md5($secret_key.md5($timestamp));
    ?>

Notes ​

Please ensure that the timestamp represents the current time (in seconds) when the request is made.

If the server time differs significantly from the actual time, the authentication may fail.
