V4.1

🔒 Gameball API V4.1 — Secure Integration Mode

We’re excited to announce API V4.1 — our most secure version yet, with mandatory SecretKey authentication and enhanced security controls!

✨ What’s New

Mandatory SecretKey Authentication

All integration endpoints under /api/v4.1/integrations/... now require both APIKey and SecretKey headers. This ensures all integration traffic is server-to-server only.

Enhanced Security Model

  • All integration APIs must be called from your backend
  • Widget/mobile access requires per-customer session tokens
  • No exposure of SecretKey in client-side code

Minimum Version Enforcement

Control which API versions are allowed from your Gameball Dashboard. Set a minimum version to reject older, less secure patterns.

🔄 Breaking Changes

Mandatory SecretKey: All v4.1 integration endpoints require both APIKey and SecretKey. Requests without SecretKey are rejected.
Server-Side Only: Integration endpoints can no longer be called from browsers or mobile apps directly. All calls must go through your backend.

📚 Migration Guide

Migration Required: If you’re using v4.0, you’ll need to update your integrations to include SecretKey headers and ensure all calls are made from your backend.
