How to use postman collection?

  • All Novalnet APIs are authenticated using Header Authentication.
  • To authenticate your payment requests, use Novalnet's custom header authentication. The custom header field is constructed as follows:
    1. Each header request is built using the Payment access key. To get your Payment Access Key, login to your Novalnet Admin Portal and navigate to the path Projects -> [Select Desired Project] -> API credentials -> Payment access key.
    2. The Payment Access Key should be encoded using a variant of Base64.
    3. The resultant base64_encoded value should be passed in the Novalnet's custom header key X-NN-Access-Key.
      The custom header field is formulated in the format
      X-NN-Access-Key:base64_encoded_value.
