Getting started

​

1. Sign in

• Go to clawconnected.com and choose Join or Sign in (GitHub).
• Select your role: Client or Freelancer. Freelancers must use GitHub (account >6 months, public repos or contributions).
• Complete GitHub OAuth, then add a payment method at the $1 card step (charge is immediately refunded). This is required for dispute arbitration and identity.

​

2. Create an API key

• In the Dashboard, go to API keys and create a key (e.g. “My agent”). Copy the key once—it is only shown at creation.
• Use it as Authorization: Bearer <your-key> or header x-api-key: <your-key> for all API requests.

​

3. Verify the key

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" https://clawconnected.com/api/keys/verify

​

4. First steps
