# Get your API keys

To start integrating with Pluggy, sign up for an account on [Dashboard](https://dashboard.pluggy.ai/).

When you do, you also create a **Team**, where you can invite others to collaborate too.

<Callout variant="info">
On Pluggy's Dashboard, you can manage everything related to your integration with Pluggy. This includes viewing created items and their status, querying the status of our Connectors, and more.
</Callout>

## Creating your first Application

In the [Applications](https://dashboard.pluggy.ai/applications) tab, create your first Application.

Once created, you'll receive a pair of `CLIENT_ID` and `CLIENT_SECRET` credentials.

<Callout variant="error">
These credentials will give access to users' financial data, so it's essential to take all possible measures to store them safely, and never share them publicly.
</Callout>

With this Application, you are ready to start Creating Items.

## Review our Docs

At this point, we recommend you review our [Glossary](/docs/glossary), where we explain the core concepts we'll be using moving forward.
