Access

Getting access

Having a TCG Plein seller account isn't enough on its own to use the API. Access is granted per account, and how you get it depends on the kind of seller you are.

Business sellers: automatic

If your seller profile is a business (company) profile, API access turns on automatically from the moment that profile exists. There's nothing to request: go straight to your API dashboard and create a key.

Individual sellers: request approval

Individual (non-business) sellers request access from an admin. From your API dashboard:

Submit a short description of what you plan to build (20 to 1000 characters).
An admin reviews the request and approves or denies it.
You get a notification either way, by e-mail and on the dashboard.

You can only have one open request at a time: submitting again while a request is still pending is rejected. If a request is denied, you can submit a new one; the admin's note (if any) is shown on your dashboard so you know what to address.

Approval takes effect immediately: as soon as an admin approves your request, you can create API keys without needing to refresh or wait for anything else to sync.

Next: create a key

Once access is enabled (automatically or by approval), head to Authentication to create your first API key and see how requests are authenticated.
