Request API Key

Request an API Key to interact with all the endpoints.

To interact with the Trustless Work API, you’ll need to generate an API Key. This key authenticates your requests and links them to your verified wallet identity. Overview: API keys are managed directly in the Trustless Work BackOffice dApp. They are required only if you plan to interact programmatically with the API — you don’t need one for using the dApp interface itself.

Step 1 — Connect Your Stellar Wallet

To begin, connect a Stellar-compatible wallet (such as Freighter, Albedo, or xBull) to the dApp. You’ll be prompted to sign a message — this confirms ownership of your wallet and automatically creates your user profile.

If you’ve never used a Stellar wallet before, check out the Stellar Wallets section for setup instructions.

Step 2 — Complete Your Profile

Once logged in:

  1. Click your wallet address at the bottom-left corner.

  2. Select Settings from the menu.

  3. Fill out your profile with basic details — name, email, and use case.

    • The Use Case field is required before you can generate an API key.

    • This helps us understand your integration goals and provide better support.

💡 Tip: You can always update your profile later to reflect new projects or integrations.

Step 3 — Request an API Key

In the Settings sidebar, navigate to the API Keys tab:

  1. Choose a Network:

    • Testnet — For development and testing

    • Mainnet — For production (available post-audit)

  2. Click Request API Key to generate a new key.

  3. Copy it immediately — once you close the dialog, it cannot be viewed again for security reasons. You’ll need to generate a new one if lost.

⚠️ You must confirm that you’ve copied the key before exiting the dialog.

You must have at least the use case filled, if not, the system won't give you the API Key.
