Welcome to Kakr Labs! To fully leverage our Kakr LiaaS API on Litecoin Virtual Machine, you'll first need to go through a simple authentication process. This guide will walk you through signing up for an account, generating your API key, and understanding the permissions associated with it.

Step 1: Sign Up for an Account

To access the Kakr LiaaS API, you must have an account with us. If you haven't done so already, please sign up to create your account. Once you have an account, you'll be able to access your dashboard, where you can manage your API keys.

Step 2: Generate Your API Key

After logging into your dashboard, you'll find the option to generate a new API key. Here's how:

Navigate to the API section of your dashboard.
Click on "Generate API Key."

As soon as you click the button, your new API key will be automatically generated. By default, you will be granted Starter privileges. This level gives you access to all API endpoints but with a limited number of calls.

Understanding Permission Levels

Your initial Starter privilege is just the beginning. As your needs grow, you might find yourself requiring more calls to our API endpoints. You can easily upgrade your access by subscribing to one of our plans. Each subscription plan offers an increased number of calls, allowing you to scale your usage according to your project's demands.

API Key Management

To help you manage your API keys effectively, you have the option to set a Key Name for each key you generate. This feature enables you to easily identify each key's purpose or the project it's associated with, streamlining your workflow.

API Key Format Example:

Your API key will follow a structured format, similar to this Example:

:eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6Iktha3IgT21uaSIsImlhdCI6MTUxNjIzOTAyMn0.VdSY2rAI5JeALQKnff2sA2iBFCwnRCARc0TNnKIFzGs

By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to integrating the Kakr LiaaS API into your projects.
