Authentication

The PassKit API utilizes secure SDK credentials for authentication. Follow these simple steps to obtain your credentials and set up the SDK:

1. Generate Credentials

Login to your PassKit account and click on the Arrow in the top right corner.
Click on “Developer Tools” and you will be taken to the Developers Tools Page.
Locate and click on "SDK Credentials" in the Account Credentials section at the top of the Developers Tools Page.
A pop up window will appear prompting you for a password.
Choose a strong password to encrypt your keys (remember this password for decryption). For security, we recommend NOT to use the same password that you use for your PassKit account.
Click the "Generate" button. This will trigger an email containing your credentials.

Important Note: Generating new SDK credentials will invalidate existing ones.

2. Retrieve Credentials

PassKit will send your API credentials, including decryption instructions, to your registered email address.
Once you receive the email, download the three files and store them securely on your computer:
certificate.pem
key.pem
Ca-chain.pem
If you are using Java download the key-java.pem file

Important Note: Some corporate firewalls might block emails with certificate files. If you don't receive the email, try using a temporary personal email address or contact PassKit support.

3. Get your SDK Host

Before leaving the Developer Tools page, locate the "API Region" button and click on it. A pop up window will display your SDK host. It will be either:

grpc.pub1.passkit.io (for European servers)
grpc.pub2.passkit.io (for US servers)

Security Reminder

Never share your API credentials publicly or within your codebase. Treat them with the same level of care as any other sensitive information.

Key and Certificate Management

PassKit does not store your private key or certificate. You are solely responsible for their safekeeping.
Lost credentials require generating new ones. Old credentials remain valid for 30 days, so update your implementation before expiry.
