Getting Started
1. Before you start
Who this is for. Developers at fintechs, brokerages, banks, and payment companies integrating zerohash for crypto trading, stablecoin payments, tokenized assets, or cross-border settlement.
What you'll need.
- Access to a zerohash Cert environment
- A tool to make HTTPS requests -
curl, Postman, or your language's HTTP client
What you'll have at the end of this guide. A working authenticated API call against the Cert environment and a clear next step for the integration shape you're building.
2. Get platform access
zerohash provides two environments:
- Cert - sandbox for development and integration testing. Mock balances, no real funds.
- Prod - production environment for live transactions.
For Cert and Prod provisioning, including API key credentials, contact our team. Once you have credentials, you can Get Platform Access.
3. Make your first API call
Verify your credentials work with a simple unauthenticated health check. See Submit First API Call for the full walkthrough including a runnable curl example and expected response.
When you're ready for authenticated requests, head to API Authentication for the request-signing scheme.
4. Build your integration
Three paths to integrate:
- SDK integration - drop-in front-end SDK for client-side flows (KYC, trading widgets). See SDK docs.
- REST API + Recipes - server-side integration with our REST API. Start with our recipes for common end-to-end flows (onboarding, deposit, trade, settlement).
- API Reference - the full endpoint catalog. See API Reference.
