AUTHENTICATION
At Genius Referrals we take security very seriously, that's why we use WSSE (Web Service Security) Authentication for consuming our API. For more information regarding WSSE, please review this.
Adding the authentication to requests
For you to be able to consume our RESTful API you need to build and add an authentication header (X-WSSE) on every request. Here is an example using Curl.
