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;
