  1. Click Save. You can choose to save or open a text file with the API credentials needed to connect with StarShip. We recommend saving the file so you can access it later.






    If you are setting up StarShip now, you can leave the API keys window open and launch StarShip to continue StarShip Setup.
    If you are setting StarShip up later, click Done to exit the window.







    You can see the StarShip API Account you created in the API list :
