Acclaim helps carriers, MGAs, TPAs, and brokers send commissions, pay claims, and collect funds through a single API.
This guide covers how to create an account and get API keys before you explore core concepts.
Create an Account
To access the Acclaim API, create an account and sign in to the Acclaim Console. From the dashboard, you can manage settings, create treasury accounts, and issue API keys for both live and sandbox environments.
If you want to experiment safely, use a sandbox account. Sandbox accounts share the same API base URL as production but use separate API keys and will not move real money.
API Keys
Acclaim uses API keys to authenticate requests. Find them under Settings → Developers → API Keys in the console.
- Secret key: used on your server to authenticate API calls. Keep it private.
- Publishable key: safe to use client-side with Acclaim’s embeddable components.
