Introduction

The signature in each API call is quite simple to generate. It is automatically generated in the PHP API library.

Details

To create the signature, you need to take the current POST string.

For example: method=games.get&v=0.3&consumer_key=123abc&format=xml&nonce=123456789&timestamp=193920129

You then concatenate the consumer_secret key to the end of this

method=games.get&v=0.3&consumer_key=123abc&format=xml&nonce=123456789&timestamp=193920129consumersecretihavemadeup

...and MD5 hash the result.

Then you send this through as a parameter named sig and attach it to the end of your original POST string:

method=games.get&v=0.3&consumer_key=123abc&format=xml&nonce=123456789&timestamp=193920129&sig=8f8fb2b257a0a6721f88d955c85eac29

This is your new POST string.
