By creating a Carbon account, you automatically have a production API key (useable on api.carbon.money). However, Carbon's team must approve your account for you to use it.

📘

Retrieving your API Key programatically

Remember, your API Key (or UUID) can also be found by retrieving your JWT on either the production or sandbox api routes. It is also available via the dashboard.

Response using unapproved API Key

{
  "message":"Unapproved superuser. Please contact Carbon to approve",
  "code":403
}
