The Portal API is a RESTful service. It uses resource-oriented URLs, accepts JSON-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.

PRODUCTION ACCESS

You will use our sandbox until your integration is reviewed and approved. Once approved we'll provide keys to use our production API at https://api.portal.io

SANDBOX ACCESS

STEP 1
Sign up for a free Sandbox Account at https://sandbox.portal.io. This is a dealer test account you will use to exchange test data.

STEP 2
After you have a sandbox account, let your Portal rep know, and they will provide you an API Application Key, as well as a Secret Key (used to hach the signature in your requests)

STEP 3
You're now ready to get your User Key. Please refer to the User Authentication section, which is next in these docs. The User Key is the last thing you'll need to start making requests to the sandbox API at https://sandbox.api.portal.io
