Before writing any code, you need the right accounts and keys. This is the first step in getting up and running with the Fluz API. Before you can authenticate or make your first call, you need three things: a Fluz account, access to the Developers area, and a registered application that issues your API credentials. Everything below takes just a few minutes.
Start in the sandbox. All setup happens in Fluz’s sandbox (staging) environment first, at uni.staging.fluzapp.com. Sandbox lets you build and test with sandbox keys, test bank accounts, and test card offers — no real money moves. When you’re ready to go live, see Staging vs. Live Environment.
1

Create your Fluz account

The Developers section is where your applications and API credentials live.
2

Create a new application

Registering an application is what generates the API key and credentials you’ll authenticate with. From the Developers section:
  1. Click Create new Application.
  2. Fill in App name and logo, Subtitle, and What is the main purpose of this app?
  3. Click Create new app.
Creating a new application in the Developers section
When you’re done, you’ll have: a Fluz sandbox account with access to the Developers area, a registered application, and everything you need to retrieve your API credentials.

​
Next steps

With your account and application in place, you’re ready to authenticate. The full flow is documented in the Authentication & Authorization guide.

Obtain your API credentials

Retrieve the API key tied to your application and exchange it for a scoped access token.
