Headers
X-Signaturestring^[0-9a-f]{64}$required

HMAC-SHA256 signature of the request content, hex-encoded in lowercase (64 characters). Must be sent together with X-Signature-Timestamp.

Example:1023c8e2a19cc42260968ab2dcf1698e8344a2939ac97f686d21aacb650273e2
X-Signature-Timestampstring^[0-9]+$required

Unix timestamp in seconds at which X-Signature was generated, as a decimal string.

This value is part of the signed canonical string, so it must exactly match the timestamp used to compute the signature. Requests more than 300 seconds from Wise server time are rejected in either direction.

Example:1700000000
X-External-Correlation-Idstring, (uuid), <= 36 characters
