Quickstart
This quickstart guide provides everything you need to swiftly get started with the Sikoia API.

Applications
, selectNew Secret
- Give your client secret a name
- Copy your client ID and client secret value
Keep your client ID and associated secret secure, as they provide broad access to the Sikoia API. Do not share them in publicly visible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, etc.
- Make a request to the token endpoint to retrieve an access token.
