Creating a Schematic account is free and takes a few minutes. This is step one of Set up your first plan.

1. Create an account

Go to Schematic and sign up with Google, GitHub, or email. The signup flow asks a few questions about your company and then drops you into the dashboard.

2. Create your API keys

API keys are how your application talks to Schematic. You do not need them for anything on this track, but creating them now means your engineers are not blocked when they start instrumenting your app.

  1. Click Settings, the gear icon at the bottom of the left navigation.
  2. Click API Keys in the Settings menu.
  3. Click Create in the top right.
  4. Give the key a name, for example “Quickstart”.
  5. Click Create.
  6. Copy both keys and hand them to whoever is doing the integration.
The secret key is shown once and never again. Store it somewhere secure the moment you create it. If you lose it, create a new key and delete the old one.
