Developer Tools

The Developer section of your Yativo dashboard provides all the tools you need to manage API access, audit usage, and secure your integration.

API Keys

Your API credentials consist of:

Account ID — found in Dashboard → Settings → Account
App Secret — generated in Dashboard → Developer → API Key

Generate App Secret

A 4-digit transaction PIN is required before generating a new App Secret.

GET /generate-secret

# First verify your PIN
curl -X POST 'https://api.yativo.com/api/v1/pin/verify' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ "pin": "1234" }'

# Then generate a new secret
curl -X GET 'https://api.yativo.com/api/v1/generate-secret' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'

{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "app_secret": "yat_live_aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ123456789"
  }
}

Generating a new secret invalidates your previous App Secret immediately. Update all systems that use the old secret before regenerating.

Transaction PIN

The 4-digit transaction PIN is required for sensitive operations: generating a new App Secret, initiating large transfers, and certain administrative actions.

Set or Update PIN

POST /pin/update

string

required

Your new 4-digit numeric PIN.

curl -X POST 'https://api.yativo.com/api/v1/pin/update' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ "pin": "5678" }'

Verify PIN

POST /pin/verify

string

required

Your current 4-digit PIN.

curl -X POST 'https://api.yativo.com/api/v1/pin/verify' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ "pin": "5678" }'

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Enable 2FA on your dashboard account for additional security (Dashboard → Developer → Security → 2FA).

Step 1: Generate a 2FA Secret

POST /generate-2fa-secret

Returns a secret to enter into your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.):

curl -X POST 'https://api.yativo.com/api/v1/generate-2fa-secret' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Idempotency-Key: unique-key-here'

Step 2: Enable 2FA

POST /enable-2fa

After scanning the QR code in your authenticator app:

curl -X POST 'https://api.yativo.com/api/v1/enable-2fa' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Idempotency-Key: unique-key-here'

Step 3: Verify a 2FA Code

POST /verify-2fa

string

required

The 6-digit OTP from your authenticator app.

curl -X POST 'https://api.yativo.com/api/v1/verify-2fa' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ "otp": "123456" }'
