FAQPage Schema
How do I sign Aster Futures API v1 requests using HMAC SHA256?▼

To authenticate Aster Futures API v1 requests, include your API key in the X-MBX-APIKEY header and provide a timestamp, recvWindow, and HMAC SHA256 signature generated from your secret key.

What parameters are required for Aster Futures API v1 authentication?▼

Aster Futures API v1 authentication requires an API key in the X-MBX-APIKEY header, a timestamp parameter, a recvWindow parameter, and an HMAC SHA256 signature generated using your secret key.

Can I use this API signing method for trading and user data endpoints?▼

Yes, this HMAC SHA256 signing method supports authentication for trading, user data, and user stream endpoints within the Aster Futures /fapi/v1/ or v2/v4 API paths.

Why does my Aster Futures API v1 signed request fail?▼

Aster Futures API v1 signed requests typically fail due to incorrect secret key management for the HMAC SHA256 signature or poor timestamp synchronization between your client and the server.

Do I need timestamp synchronization for HMAC SHA256 API request signing?▼

Yes, proper timestamp synchronization is required for HMAC SHA256 API request signing to ensure the server validates your timestamp and recvWindow parameters during secure communication.
