Getting Started ​

Before you can use the API, you need to complete a minimal setup:

  1. Set a Redirect URL.
  2. Generate a secret key.

Both steps are completed in the Customer Portal. You will be redirected there after signing up and selecting a plan.

Redirect URL ​

After a user verifies their identity, they will be redirected back to your site along with a cryptographic proof of their personal data. This is the purpose of the Redirect URL. You can update it at any time.

Generating a Secret Key ​

A secret key authenticates your requests and grants access to the API. To generate one, go to the API tab in the Customer Portal and click the Generate button.

Your new secret key will be displayed only once, so be sure to copy it and store it securely. You can regenerate the key at any time, but you will need to update your application to use the new key. Only the most recently generated secret key is valid.
