# Getting Started

Yaaay :tada: you are about to kick off the development of your super digital banking application and cannot wait to start writing those lines of code Here are the key steps you'll need to follow to integrate to our Digital Banking Enabler APIs; 

## Authentication 

You have to get authenticated to use the API this means you need an auth token to make your request. 

There are two different types of users the **Enterprise User** and **Other Users** 

#### Enterprise User 

To get your auth token as an enterprise user follow the steps below

* Log into iRestrict 
* Set up your account 
* Get your [authentication token](/overview/enterprise-user-oauth.md)
* Join skype group provided by the Implementation support team 

#### Other User 

To get your authtoken as other user follow the steps below 

* Join the Implementation support team on skype 
* Your authtoken will be provided for you by the implementation support team. 

### Testing your actions. 

After successfully getting your auth token and setting up your account, you might want to confirm your API actions. 

For instance, after creating an account via API, user can view this account on Bankone to confirm the account was created as required. 

To do this, login into BankOne using the **Institution code**: 4-digit institution code, **Username**: Username and Password provided by the implementation team

## What You Should Know About Our API&#x20;
