Security

Security & Compliance

Enterprise-grade security built into every layer.

Authentication

Every request is authenticated with a Bearer token. Keys are scoped, rotatable, and revocable from your dashboard. All traffic is encrypted via TLS 1.3.

Rate Limiting

Per-plan rate limits protect the platform and your integration. Every response includes X-RateLimit-Remaining headers so you always know where you stand.

Data Privacy

SOC 2 Type II audited, with end-to-end encryption and zero-trust architecture. All data is stored entirely in Canada data centres.

Frequently asked questions

Everything developers ask before integrating.

How do I authenticate my requests?

Every request requires a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Sign up, choose a plan, and generate your API key from the dashboard. Keys are prefixed with tm_ for easy identification. Store them securely — they are shown only once.

What are the rate limits?

Rate limits scale with your plan: Developer gets 1,000 req/month (60/min burst), Startup gets 10,000 (300/min), and Business gets 100,000 (1,000/min). Every response includes X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset headers.

Is there a sandbox for testing?

Yes. Every API key has access to sandbox.api.transparentmedz.com. Sandbox requests return realistic test data and do not count against your monthly quota.

Do you support webhooks?

Webhooks are available on the Business plan. Subscribe to events like price drops, new generics, and coverage changes. Configure endpoints and retry policies from your dashboard.
