🛡 IP Whitelisting

IP Whitelisting

To use the meCash API services, you must whitelist your IP address. This is a mandatory security step.

IP whitelisting ensures that only authorized servers can access your API endpoints. Requests from non-whitelisted IPs will be denied.

⚠️ Error Response for Non-Whitelisted IPs:

{
  "message": "Forbidden: Your IP address is not whitelisted to access this resource."
}
 

Also, remember that your API keys remain inactive until you've whitelisted at least one IP address.
