Common description of API

This API allows you to work with user keys in Ace Stream system. API provides methods to create user keys and activate different options for the keys.

Requests format

API requests are sent via HTTP-GET method to the following addresses:

  • test mode: https://api-sandbox.acestream.net/reseller
  • work mode: https://api.acestream.net/reseller

Responses for these requests comes in json format.

If during query processing an error was occurred, the following kind of response will be sent:

{"error":"error descrtiption"}

Responses to successfully processed requests depend on a method being called

Required common parameters for all requests

  • method - called API method
  • api_key - API client key
  • api_version - supported API version (current version: 1.0)
  • app - market ID
  • sign - request's digital signature

Algorithm for generating a digital signature

  • array of strings like "parameter_name=parameter_value" is created
  • the resulting array is sorted
  • elements of the sorted array are combined in a string with a separator "#"
  • private key of API client is added to the resulting string
  • signature is sha1-hash of the resulting string (in hexadecimal representation, 40 characters, lowercase)

PHP code:

function makeSignature(array $params, $apiSecret)
{
    $checkParams = array();
    foreach($params as $k => $v) {
        $checkParams[] = $k . '=' . $v;
    }
    sort($checkParams);
    
    $payload = join('#', $checkParams);
    $sign = sha1($payload . $apiSecret);
    
    return $sign;
}
