This guide takes you from no account to a working Bitnob Enterprise API key: register, create a key with the scopes you need, and confirm it works.

Create your account

1

Go to accounts.bitnob.com and enter a valid email address.
2

Enter the confirmation code we send you.
3

4

Sign in to the dashboard

Go to platform.bitnob.com. The dashboard holds your API keys and settings.
Invite your colleagues from account settings before you start building. Shared access avoids credential sharing later.

​
Create an API key

The Bitnob Enterprise API uses a single API key, sent in the X-API-Key header. There’s no request signing. Create the key in the Bitnob dashboard.
  • The key decides the environment. A live key works on mainnet, and a sandbox key on testnets.
  • Each key carries a fixed set of scopes. Create a separate key for each service, with only the scopes it needs. Get API key info lists the scopes a key carries.

​
Store your key

Store the key server-side only, never in client code or source control.
In production, read it from a secret manager rather than a file.

​
Verify your key

Call Get API key info. A 200 returns the key’s name, its organization, and its scopes.
A 401 with not_authenticated means the key is missing, wrong, or expired. Next, make your first calls in the Quickstart.
