This page helps developers quickly find the right technical docs. If you are trying to use the Nectar dashboard day to day, use the Knowledge Base. If you are building an integration, follow the path below.

​
Developer quick start path

1

Create an API key in Settings

In Nectar, go to Settings → Organization → Developer, then click Add API key. Enter a name, choose Production or Development, set an expiration, click Create, then copy the key from the table and store it in your secret manager.If Developer is missing from Organization settings, you are not an org admin on a native docs-enabled organization — ask an Admin Team member.Development here is the API-key environment. It is not the same as Sandbox testing, which uses Nectar’s mock utility account.
2

Run the API getting-started flow

Follow Getting started with the API to authenticate and make your first request.
3

Set up your test environment

Use Sandbox testing (Nectar’s mock utility account) to validate your integration safely before going live — separate from the Development API-key environment.
4

Implement integration features

Add Webhooks for event-driven workflows and Connection invitations if you embed Nectar’s connection UI in your product.
5

Use API Reference for endpoint details

Once your flow is working, use the API Reference for full schema and endpoint behavior. For new integrations, use v2.2.
