Overview

This guide allows you to quickly get started with Ubiquity.

Within this guide, we recommend using Postman as the easiest way to get started. Alternative clients and methods of access are available.

1. Generating a Ubiquity API Key

To use the Ubiquity API, you need to get the API access key. This is a 47-character unique number.

To generate a Ubiquity API key, sign up to the Blockdaemon application and take the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Ubiquity API section
2. Click on Start using the Blockdaemon API
3. In the pop-up window, enter your desired Key Name
4. Click on the Create API Key button to generate the key
5. Click on your key to copy it

Existing Blockdaemon API key holders:

• Navigate to Ubiquity API > Configure
• Click on Create New Key
• Take steps 3–5 above

Please Note

• If you lose the key, you will not be able to retrieve it
• You should immediately store your key in a secure place
