Create your Shipium account

For any service, your organization will set up a Shipium account in the Shipium Console. To access the console, you'll first need to set up Authentication for your organization's account users.

To create your organization's Shipium account:

1. Create an API key (API key; or OAuth 2.0) by using the Shipium Console application. You can read more about the console in Shipium Console Introduction.
2. Follow the procedures in the API Key-Based Authentication / OAuth 2.0-Based Authentication documentation. Both are industry-standard protocols for authorization, and your organization may have a preferred authentication method.
3. OPTIONAL: Authenticate via OAuth 2.0 to get what is needed for the OAuth 2.0-based calls.
4. Make the API calls using your preferred authentication method.
