API authentication
Everything you need to make authenticated calls to the Moov API: keys, auth methods, and test mode to build in.
In this section
API keys
Moov uses API keys to generate tokens that authenticate your API requests. Learn how to create, find, and secure API keys for test and production mode.
Authenticate requests
Authenticate Moov API requests with Basic auth on your server or scoped OAuth2 access tokens for Moov.js and Drops, plus token refresh and 401/403 fixes.
Test mode
Use Moov test mode in the Dashboard or API to simulate accounts, transfers, card payments, ACH returns, instant payment failures, and disputes without real money.
