# Developer Portal

{% embed url="<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ivrI9HX950bq2EzZfqezQW3hk343YlTF/preview>" %}

The Developer Portal is where you register your application and get the credentials needed to integrate with Humanity. It takes about 5 minutes to set up.

***

### Step 1 — Sign up or log in

<a href="https://developers.humanity.org/" class="button primary" data-icon="arrow-up-right-from-square">Go to Developer Portal</a>

***

### Step 2 — Create an application

Once logged in:

1. Click **\[Create App / New Application]**
2. Enter your application name

***

### Step 3 — Review and Save your credentials

After creating your application, credentials both for sandbox and production are created. make sure you download them or copy / pasted into your `.env` file or a save place.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Never expose these credentials in client-side code or commit them to version control. Store them in environment variables or your platform's secret manager.
{% endhint %}

***

### Step 4 — Add your URI + select your presets / configure scopes

**Select the environment** you want to work with and under ***Settings*** add you URI and your presets + scopes then save your changes.

Presets define what your app is allowed to verify about a user — for example, `is_human`, `is_21_plus`, or KYC status.

You can learn more about scopes and presets here [SDK OAuth Scopes and Presets](/build-with-humanity/build-with-the-sdk-api/sdk-oauth-scopes-and-presets.md)

For the example below we targeting s**andbox** environment and adding a ***Redirect URI*** and the following **scopes:**

* `identity:read`
* `profile.full`
* `openid`
* `data.read`

For **sandbox testing**, you can generate mock preset data from the [Sandbox Dashboard](https://app.sandbox.humanity.org/sandbox) without needing a real verified user.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.humanity.org/developer-portal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
