How to Construct an HTTP Request

Once the signature is calculated the user can make a request to the endpoint of interest by sending:

the HTTP method (POST, GET, etc)
the full end point (this is the base URL and the path)
the message header
the message body

	REST V3
HEADER	API Key API Signature
BODY	Tonce Unix time

Example Request Method

Here is an example of how to send the request.

requests.request(method, base_url + "/" + path, headers = headers, data = body_str)

Full REST Examples

These full examples bring all the methods together to demonstrate how to generate the API signature and send it along with the other important data.

The responses associated to these (and all end point requests) are documented in the relevant sections later in the document.
