  • Your organization’s name
  • Use case (e.g., “credit scoring for SME loans”)
  • Expected request volume (e.g., “100 calls/minute”)

​
2. Receive Your Credentials

After approval, you’ll receive:
  • A unique Production API Key (e.g., bsa_live_123456789abcdef)
  • A Sandbox Key for testing (if applicable)

​
3. Integrate the API

Include your API Key in the Authorization header:
