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.
