To ensure secure communication between your systems and GoKart, it is essential to implement the following security measures:
adding GoKart to your whitelist IP addresses using secret API tokens for authentication These steps help protect your data and ensure that only authorized requests are processed.
Add GoKart to Whitelist IP Addresses
To secure your API endpoints, add GoKart's IP addresses to your whitelist. This ensures that only requests originating from GoKart's servers are accepted, protecting your system from unauthorized access.
Steps to Whitelist GoKart IP Addresses
Obtain the list of GoKart IP addresses from our support team Add these IP addresses to your server's firewall or security settings Configure your API endpoint to accept requests only from these whitelisted IP addresses Secret API Token
GoKart can send a secret API token with each request to authenticate and secure the communication. These tokens are stored as encrypted text within GoKart, adding an extra layer of security.
Using Secret API Tokens
Generate a Secret API Token Contact GoKart support to generate a unique secret API token for your account Ensure the token is securely stored and not exposed in any client-side code Validate the Secret API Token Configure your server to expect the secret API token in the headers of incoming requests from GoKart. Validate the token against the stored token value to authenticate the request.
