• When making calls to backend endpoints that require Backend Authentication, you have to add an Authorization header containg a HMAC-SHA256 hash, created from the current time in UNIX Epoch format and UTC timezone and the secret key. The date in UNIX Epoch format and UTC timezone should be added to the Date header.
