Getting started

The Fern API is currently in private beta. Once you’ve decided to build with Fern, onboarding is straightforward:
1

Create your developer account

Create an account at dashboard.fernhq.com. Tell us a bit about your use case, and select a billing plan.
2

Pre-fund your billing wallet, if needed

If you’re a Builder tier subscriber, pre-fund your billing wallet with USDC to access certain API functionality such as KYC or wallet creation. For subscribers on all other tiers, you can pre-fund billing wallets if desired; otherwise, we invoice you monthly.
3

Set up your API key

You can create API keys for sandbox (coming soon), pre-production, and production environments.
