The HMAC-SHA256 algorithm must be used to generate a request signature, which is calculated using your accessKeySecret key.

1. Create a content digest for your request body. The keys within the request body should be ordered alphabetically before the digest is generated.

contentDigest = sha256(stringify(requestBody));

2. Generate the string to sign by combining HTTP method, request content type, date-time in ISO-8601 format (also required in header params), fully qualified request path with query parameters (if any), and the content digest (from step 1) with a newline in between each parameter.

Note: Please follow this specific ordering of parameters.

3. Sign this string with your accessKeySecret.

4. Generate hex encoded string from step 3 to generate hmac_signature

5. Attach the HMAC Signature in the Authorization header in this format SB1-HMAC-SHA256 accessKeyId:hmac_signature.

Example Code

const crypto = require('crypto');

  if (_.isEmpty(sortedBody)) {
    return '';
  }
  const hash = crypto.createHash('sha256');
  hash.update(JSON.stringify(sortedBody));
  return hash.digest('hex');
}
