​
Production

Vantage issues API keys per institution and environment. A key created locally or in a test environment cannot authenticate against production.

​
Local development

The local frontend proxies /api/v1 to Django. Create a local key from Developer tools and set VANTAGE_API_ORIGIN=http://localhost:3100.
Never copy production keys, custody credentials, or live wallet secrets into a local environment.

​
Required headers

Institution endpoints require X-API-Key, X-Timestamp, X-Nonce, and X-Signature. See Request signing.
