# Getting Started

## Creating an account <a href="#creating-an-account" id="creating-an-account"></a>

Before using the API you'll need to create an account on the API. To do so, please [register here](http://astroplant-alpha.surge.sh/log-in) and create a kit there if you own one.

Make sure you keep your **username** in mind, it will be your unique identifier through the API and how you will be able to access your private data.
