FAQs

Q1: What happens if I hash in a US state or Canadian Province/Territory into the authentication token but according to their IP address, the user is not in the US or Canada?

A1: This request will be geo-restricted with a 403 response

Q2: What APIs does this new authentication schema work on?

A2: It will only work on requests to the Streaming API, not the events API.

Q3: Are there any API changes with this change?

A3: No, request exactly the same APIs as in the following documentation: https://docs.imgarena.com/streaming-integration/. The only changes are around the way in which you authenticate requests to these API's and the location query parameter.

Q4: Can I use this Authentication schema for requests outside the US or Canada?

A4: Yes, but you can only use the location parameter for requests inside the US or Canada - we do not accept locations that are not US States or Canadian Provinces and Territories in the new authentication schema.
