Creating new credentials

In order to use LSD from an API, you must authenticate your connection and requests. If you don’t already have an account, creating one is as easy as signing up with Google.

Once logged in, you can view a table displaying your API keys on your profile as shown in the screenshot below.

If you click on the ‘New API Key’ button, you will see the a modal that will take you through the flow of creating new credentials. Start by giving your key a name into the input shown in the below screenshot and then click ‘Create’.

After creating, you will see the newly generated credentials (note these will not be shown again, so make sure to save them somewhere safe) as well as a connection URI and code example.

From there you can use the credentials when using LSD via database adapter or HTTP.
