Choosing HTTP message signature versions
HTTP message signatures are an evolving Internet standard. Their development is managed as an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft.
Supported versions
The exact version of the IETF draft you need to implement is as follows:
| Use case | Recommended | Supported |
|---|---|---|
| API Calls (HTTP requests to Upvest) | v15 | v15, v6 |
| Webhooks (HTTP requests from Upvest) | v6 | v6 |
Research and choose
We strongly advise using the versions in the "Recommended" column, older, supported versions should be considered deprecated.

Based on this information, and our recommendation above you should now know which versions you plan to implement.
