Get your API key
Create an organization and an app in the Console, and get the client_id and client_secret you'll use to call the SDK.
Every SDK call needs credentials. This guide gets you the client_id and client_secret you’ll
use in the next guide — Your first SDK call — in about two
minutes.
1. Sign in to the Console
Open the Console and sign in, or create an account (50 free credits, no card required).
2. Create an organization
Create an org. You become its owner. The org holds your apps, usage and billing.
3. Create an application
Under Applications → New application, give it a name. This app is the identity your server will use to call the SDK.
4. Copy your client_id and client_secret
You’ll see a client_id and a one-time client_secret. The secret is shown once — copy it
into your server’s secrets store now. It must never reach browser code or a public repo.
5. Enable a pipeline
Go to Marketplace, pick a pipeline (start with translate-string), and click Enable on
your app. This adds it to the app’s allow-list — the SDK can only call pipelines your app has
enabled.
Next: Your first SDK call uses this client_id/client_secret
pair to make a real translate call.
