Every API360 integration starts the same way: sign up, grab a key, and call the sandbox. No approval queue, no sales call — the steps below are the whole thing.
1. Create an account and get an API key
Sign in to the developer console and create a new application. Every application gets its own sandbox key immediately — there is no waiting period, and sandbox usage never touches production data or your quota.
Keep the key out of client-side code and source control: treat it exactly like a password.
2. Set your base URL and auth header
Every request carries your key in the Authorization header, and every sandbox request is scoped to https://sandbox.api360.sa:
export API360_KEY="sk_sandbox_your_key_here"
Production calls use the same header against https://api.api360.sa once an application is promoted out of sandbox.
3. Make your first request
With the key exported, call the identity service's health check:
curl "https://sandbox.api360.sa/v1/identity/ping" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $API360_KEY"
A working key returns a 200 OK with a small JSON body:
{ "status": "ok", "environment": "sandbox" }
