# Get started

All API endpoints listed in this documentation are relative to **<https://api.shipbubble.com/v1>**

{% hint style="info" %}
**Before you get started, you will need to:**

1. Create an account here: <https://app.shipbubble.com/register>
2. Go to the API keys & Webhook tab in the dashboard settings.
3. Generate an API Key on your dashboard; we will provide a test key you can use to make API calls in your test environment.
4. Enable API access for your account.
5. Your API keys carry many privileges, so keep them secure. Do not share your API keys in publicly accessible platforms such as repositories / client-side code.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Shipbubble APIs currently only support shipping from your account's country of origin**

If your application accepts orders from many countries, you must register a Shipbubble account for each one and obtain a unique API key.
