Authentication Schemes

The LoanVista API supports two primary authentication schemes, depending on the endpoint you’re using.

​
1. Basic Authentication

Most core pipeline and ingestion endpoints use Basic Authentication (Basic <Base64(username:password)>).
  • Username: Your primary SDK/API username.
  • Password: Your primary SDK/API password.
'Authorization': 'Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ='

​
2. Bearer Token (JWT)

The public endpoints for retrieving loan data and managing accounts may require a Bearer Token.
  • Type: JSON Web Token (JWT).
  • Header: Authorization: Bearer <token>.

​
Authentication Headers

In addition to the Authorization header, most endpoints require:
HeaderDescription
ClientIdYour unique Client ID (e.g., 4 or 22).
AuthKeyYour pipeline-specific authentication key.
