Authentication and identification are handled in the same step in the Tophatter Merchant API by providing one of your API access_token values in the query parameters or post data of every request.
The Tophatter Merchant API only accepts requests sent over SSL (HTTPS).
You can manage your API keys here.

# Using post data:
