ReferenceAPI ReferencePaymentsAuthorization

Create an authorization

Create a Finix authorization (auth-only — no funds captured until /:id/capture). Body mirrors Finix's /authorizations payload. The merchant defaults to the API-key/JWT context but can be overridden for sub-merchant routing.

POST
/v1/api/authorizations/
x-easy-api-key<token>

Merchant API key. Publishable keys (pk_test_* / pk_live_) are safe for browser/frontend use and carry a limited scope set (sessions, payment_instruments, customers, orders writes; products, product_prices, payment_links reads). Secret keys (sk_test_ / sk_live_*) grant full admin access and must only be used server-side.
