Hi Deriv Community,

If you’re ready to start building with the Deriv API, the first step is setting up your account. Here’s what you’ll need to do:

1. Create your Deriv account: Sign up or log in to get access to the API.
2. Register your application: Add details like your app name and redirect URL to get started.
3. Generate your API token: Set the permissions you need and create a secure token for your app.

Our step-by-step guide provides all the details to help you through each stage.
