Get an API key
Issued immediately by email. No account, no approval queue, no card.
The key is emailed, not shown
Holding the address is what proves it is yours, so there is no verification link to click and no token to store.
Asking again re-sends the same key
Issuance is derived from your address, so mislaying it costs you nothing and never breaks a running integration.
Nothing is stored
The key carries its holder and a signature. There is no key table here, which means there is none to breach.
Free while in pilot
If that changes you will be told before it does. Every request already fans out to 21 free government APIs, so please keep concurrency modest.
