# Encrypt parameters


## Steps

### 1. Import your crypto library

### 2. Encrypt parameters

Encrypt the parameters payload.

### 3. Create item

Using your Pluggy API_KEY, create the item using your previously encrypted payload as parameters inside the request body.

## Code

```javascript
import crypto from 'crypto'

const rsaPublicKeyPem =
  'RSA public key in PEM format got from Pluggy operations'

const payload = {
  user: 'user-ok',
  password: 'password-ok',
}

async function main() {
  const RSAPublicKey = Buffer.from(rsaPublicKeyPem)
  const encryptedPayload = crypto
    .publicEncrypt(RSAPublicKey, Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(payload)))
    .toString('base64')
  console.log('Payload encrypted:', encryptedPayload)

  const item = await fetch('https://api.pluggy.ai/items', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'X-API-KEY': 'YOUR_PLUGGY_API_KEY',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      connectorId: 2,
      parameters: encryptedPayload,
      webhookUrl: 'https://example.com/webhook',
    }),
  })
    .then((res) => res.json())
    .catch((err) => console.error(err))

  console.log('Item created:', item)
}

main()
```
