## API Reference

Please check the API Reference section for all API docs.

## Credentials

* Your Account has an API Key. Go to `Settings tab > Account` to view your API
  key.
* Similarly, the App you created has an App identifier called App ID. You can
  view it in the `Settings tab > App`.

You will need both these credentials in the API to trigger notifications.

## Sandbox

To help you fiddle with the platform, we have a sandbox created with default
integrations in place. Check sandbox details [here](/api-reference/send-event).
