How to construct hash to authenticate data over API

Concatenate all values you want to send into a single string. Notice that order when constructing hash should be as params are listed in descriptions.

For example. You want to get all answered calls of user 123 from 2009-09-09 00:03 till now. You must send user_id, period_start and calltype params.

>> time = "2009-09-09 00:03".to_time.to_i
=> "1252454580"
>> hash_string = "123" + time.to_s + "answered"  
=> "1231252454580answered"

>> API_Secret_Key = "Very Sercet Key"
>> hash_string += API_Secret_Key
=> "1231252454580answeredVery Sercet Key"

>> Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(hash_string) 
=> "b93c35d5c6183288322122561a3da7e09abb63b7"

All allowed params

Examples

Example of User Update Api hash string:

581asdfghjkl

Such string should be used to generate SHA1 hash.

There is a functionality available for admin user which lets to check what hash should be formed.

In address bar type, for example, http://.../billing/test/test_api?user_id=52&u=SUPERTALKAPPTEST&p=R2phaYuF&balance=100 where instead of numbers type appropriate values. Click Enter on your keyboard and a single string line will appear on your screen. For example, by typing http://.../billing/test/test_api?user_id=52&u=SUPERTALKAPPTEST&p=R2phaYuF&balance=100 we get hash:
