  6. Click the Create API key button.
  7. The new user-level API key displays in the table on the page with the name, client ID, and created date columns populated. In the Public Key column, it shows JWKS with 0 key(s). Click the Public Keys button to generate new keys or enter a public key you already have generated.
  8. A modal opens with two different options for the public key. Choose one of the following options to complete.

Request and store an access token

Next, you must request an access token with an auth request. Follow the OAuth API key instructions for requesting and storing an access token.

Initiate requests

After getting an access token, you're ready to initiate API requests to any of the Platform API endpoints: https://api.redoxengine.com/platform/{endpoint}.

Each Platform endpoint has different requirements, path parameters, or request parameters. Explore each endpoint schema for their respective requirements.
