There you will find a list of your existing tokens and the option to create new tokens if needed. Keys generated by you will initially only give you access to our catalog (products) and availability endpoints. If you need access to more advanced endpoints please contact [affiliates@tiqets.com](mailto:undefined) so they can review your request and provide you with access. If you have any issues accessing the ***portal or*** ***API tokens*** section or generating a new token please contact your Tiqets account manager or . ## Booking API Acceptance Process To gain access to our API Production Environment including the ability to place orders, a successful demo of your integration with our Test environment is required. The following actions need to be performed via the Booking API against the [**test environment**](/basics/environments-and-testing.md)**.** Please record the screen when performing these actions and share the video file(s) with our API support team. * Create and confirm an order for a product with a timeslot, e.g. product 1006518 * Create at least two orders for different languages for product 1006523, of which at least one order must include the addon variant * Create at least two orders, one for a weekday and one for a weekend, for product 1010393 * Create at least one order for a product that requires additional checkout fields, e.g. product 975244 * Cancel an order Please also include a short description of your product and availability/pricing caching logic. This can be done in writing and does not require a video recording. Additionally, it is recommended to build these features (which are not mandatory to pass the API demo): * Implement logic to retrieve and cache availability and pricing information for at least three months for all products of interest * Implement logic to handle unavailable products and de-list products that are long-term unavailable --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://developers.tiqets.dev/basics/api-keys.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
