Activityhero Authentication

Authentication

ActivityHero's provider integration (Registration API and Schedule API) does not use API keys, OAuth, or bearer tokens for its request/response surface. Instead, webhook payloads are authenticated with an HMAC-SHA256 signature so the receiver can verify the message originated from ActivityHero (and, symmetrically, so ActivityHero can verify inbound schedule syncs).

ActivityHero secures its APIs with signature across 1 declared security scheme, as derived from its OpenAPI definitions.

  - name: hmacSignature
    type: signature
    algorithm: HMAC-SHA256
    header: Signature
    message: '"providerID_timestamp" (provider ID and request timestamp joined by an underscore)'
    secret_location: >-
      A per-provider secret key found in the Registration API dashboard
      section (Manage Listing > API).
    verification: >-
      The receiver recomputes HMAC-SHA256 over "providerID_timestamp" using the
      shared secret and compares it to the Signature header.
