To get started with the Assetpool Developer API, there are several important prerequisites you need to fulfill. This ensures that you have the necessary setup and permissions to effectively utilize our API and integrate it with your applications.
1. Account Setup and API Access
Before you can access the Assetpool API, your account must be configured with developer access. This is a critical step to ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to interact with our API endpoints and access the data and features you need.
If you don’t have developer access configured yet, please contact your Assetpool account manager or support team. They will assist you in upgrading your account and ensuring that all necessary permissions are granted.

To obtain your API credentials, contact Assetpool support. Provide the necessary information regarding your account and the purpose of your API integration. Assetpool support will then issue your credentials and provide guidance on how to use them securely.
