- 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 :
