Getting keys

Practice keys work straight away against sample data. Nothing touches real money until your society is live.

  1. Step 1: Register your society.

    It takes about five minutes.

  2. Step 2: Sign in and open Settings → API keys.

    Only officers whose office allows it can create keys.

  3. Step 3: Create a Practice key.

    Live keys are available once your society is activated. Secrets are shown once.
