I would advise to use strval($api_key) to make sure it’s always treated as a string.

Didn’t you just answer yourself? 
Lol, no, confushious say whaat
Query parameter of a server side API Action for auth=$auth_token
$auth_token = hash_hmac(‘sha256’, $timestamp, $api_key);
What Brian said a few posts ago but I would say that:
hash_hmac( ‘sha256’ , strval($api_key))

LOL…you are actually not asking for the function…it’s already in the OP. I just noticed.
Yeah. Custom formatter all the way…I use quite a few. You won’t have any trouble with them.
I think the reason for the confusion is firstly i thought the custom formatters were only for App Connect, not Server Connect, and secondly it says save the file as custom.php or myFormatters.php and im in a node.js project wondering how this php thing is going to all fit together.
Anyway going to try and see what blows up
Wait. What? Are you on PHP or Node? You can’t use a php formatter with node.

Just looked at node side of things. Looks like you need to create a new node module within a new index.js file

Well I am trying out node for this particular project, so in node at the moment, but just looking at it even just using the run in browser in Node on a normal action is actually giving a file not found issue, so maybe i will revert to php for this initial test phase
managed to get onto computer
checking node formatters crypto.js seems to already have hmac
hmac: function(data, alg, secret, enc) {
return hmac(alg, data, secret, enc);
},
