Get API keys

There is no self-serve sign-up. The NimbusMint team reviews each request and issues keys itself; nothing on this site creates a key.

1. Ask for access, either way works:
   • fill in the access request form, or
   • open a ticket in the NimbusMint Discord [TODO: Discord invite link].
2. Tell us:
   • your name and company;
   • your site or app URL;
   • what you want to build (the use case) and the request volume you expect;
   • the egress IP addresses of every server that will call the API, for the key’s IP allowlist (up to 16 public addresses or ranges; IPv4 no wider than /24, IPv6 no wider than /48);
   • the scopes you need. v1 has one: read:hits;
   • a technical contact we can reach about the key, outages and rotations.
3. Receive your private key out of band. We send it through a private channel agreed in the ticket, never in a public channel. The secret is shown once: put it in your server’s secret store straight away.

Keys expire after one year

Every private key expires at most one year after it is issued. We tell you the date when we issue it; ask for a new key a few weeks before and rotate.

Never post a key in Discord

Not in the ticket, not in a DM, not in a screenshot. If a key is exposed anywhere, tell us and we revoke it within 10 seconds.

Next: make your first request.
