Every request made to the Coinkite API requires three special header lines. The code in sign.rb can generate the timestamp and signature value required for 2 of those 3 headers. The remaining header is just the API key itself.

Header lines you need:

X-CK-Key: K5555a555-55a555aa-a55aa5a5555aaa5a
X-CK-Timestamp: 2014-06-23T03:10:04.905376
X-CK-Sign: 0aa7755aaa45189a98a5a8a887a564aa55aa5aa4aa7a98aa2858aaa60a5a56aa
