Before connecting to PrimeVault’s APIs in production, we strongly recommend creating a dedicated test API user. This lets you safely experiment with key generation, onboarding, and SDK integration, and confirm everything works as expected before you move to live deployments.

​
Steps

1

Generate a public-private key pair

Create the key pair for your test API user. For detailed steps, see Generate Public-Private key pair for API User.
2

Register your public key

Enter the public key in PrimeVault’s UI when creating a new API user.
3

Initialize the SDK

Use the private key to initialize the APIClient in your SDK.
4

Copy your API key

Once the API user is added and marked as Active, copy the generated API key from the UI and start using it in the SDK for testing.
5

Deactivate after testing

When testing is complete, deactivate the test API user to maintain security.
Keep your private key secure, even for test users. It never leaves your environment and is never shared with PrimeVault.
