Hey kforum_dev,
Sorry for the issues you are facing with api.

Here's what you need to do to get validated while u make a request to slideshare api,

You need to create a hash code, which is --> sha1(shared_secret.ts)
replace sha1 with the function to get sha1 hash in ur fav lang, shared_secret with the shared secret you must have got from us, . with the concatenation operator of ur lang, and ts with current time in Unix Timestamp format(current time in ur system, remember, u will be sending us this same ts) Now, send us following parameters with whatever request u make for ss api,

api_key: the api key you received from us.
ts : the ts u used above.
hash: the sha1 hash u got from above.

Hope this helps, but if you still face some issues, i would request you to please paste the code snippet you are using for validation here or send it to the group, so that we can try and overcome the hiccups in your usage of api.

Wishing to see you rocking with ss api soon!!
