3. Up and running in ten minutes

1. Account: sign in to the platform.safecreative.org console with your Safe Creative account — any type works, including the free one. No account? Signing up is free and self-service.
2. Channel: create your first channel in the console (name, modality, declarant). You'll get configuration v1, sealed, plus your first key. Start with a test key.
3. First event:

curl -X POST https://platform.safecreative.org/v1/events \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sc_test_xxxxxxxxxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
        "client_ref": "run-2026-08-27-0001",
        "payload": { "action": "review.completed", "case": "EXP-4411" },
        "occurred_at": "2026-08-27T10:14:03Z"
      }'

Response (the acknowledgment is your receipt — store it):

  "sequence": 1,

}

4. Certify and verify: request a certification for the range, download the test report (it will carry the "TEST" watermark) and check its code on the public verification page.
5. Go live: swap the test key for a live one. The contract is identical.
