PLEASE NOTE

To keep the Access Token information (Secret Key) for future use, download an workspace file (.env) that stores these details. FastPix doesn’t store the exact Secret Key.

It's important to note that FastPix only stores a secret hash, not the Secret Key itself. If the Secret Key is lost, FastPix cannot retrieve it, necessitating the creation of a new Access Token.

The Access Token ID and Secret Key you receive act like a keypair, allowing you to access FastPix APIs that require basic authentication. You can also assign these values into basic auth if you are using the FastPix Postman Collection.

The Access Token ID serves as the username, while the Secret Key functions as the password.

• Username: Access Token ID
• Password: Secret Key
