Getting Started

This guide walks you through the steps to start using Quantaprice, from registration to making your first API call.

1. Create an Account​

  1. Go to account.quantaprice.com
  2. Click Sign in to begin the registration process
  3. Enter your email address
  4. Complete the sign-in via the magic link sent to your email

Once signed in, you'll have access to the Account Portal where you can manage your tenants and API keys.

2. Request a Tenant​

A tenant is your isolated Quantaprice environment. Each tenant has its own data, API keys, and configuration.

To request a new tenant:

  1. In the Account Portal, click Request Tenant
  2. Enter a slug for your tenant (e.g., acme-corp)
    • This will be used in your API endpoints
    • Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
  3. Select a tier based on your expected usage
  4. Select a region for data residency
  5. Submit your request

Your tenant will typically be provisioned within a few minutes after request approval. You'll receive a notification when it's ready.

3. Access Your Tenant​

Once your tenant is provisioned, you can:

View Tenant Details​

In the Account Portal, your tenant will appear in the dashboard. Click on it to view:

  • Tenant status
  • API endpoint URL
  • User management
  • API keys

Invite Team Members​

You can invite other users to your tenant:

  1. Go to your tenant's Users section
  2. Click Invite User
  3. Enter their email address and assign a role

Create API Keys​

To interact with the Quantaprice API, you'll need an API key:

  1. Go to your tenant's API Keys section
  2. Click Create API Key
  3. Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "Production Server")
  4. Copy the key immediately — it's only shown once

For detailed information on API key management and usage, see the Authentication guide.

4. Make Your First API Call​

With your API key ready, you can start making requests to the Quantaprice API.

Step 1: Get an Access Token​

Exchange your API key for a JWT access token using OAuth2 client credentials:

curl -X POST "https://api.quantaprice.com/oauth2/token" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials" \
  -d "client_id=qp_your_key_id:your_secret"

Response:

{
  "access_token": "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIs...",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": 3600
}

Step 2: Query Prices​

Use the access token to make API calls:

curl -X GET "https://api.quantaprice.com/api/v1/prices?sku=PRODUCT-001" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIs..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
