# 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.

> 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.

## 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.

> 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.

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.
