# Getting Started

## Implementation Notes

This API must be used server 2 server and not from the client-side (given that the API calls contain secret credentials).

The user agent and IP address in the ‘/get-surveys-for-user’ call should be that of the user, as these parameters are used for targeting purposes.

## Credentials:

To begin testing your integration, please reach out to <apisupport@prodege.com> to request staging credentials. These credentials will allow you to access the Prodege staging environment for testing purposes only and will not provide access to production data.

\
Once your integration has been successfully verified in staging (see the Staging Integration Test section below), a Prodege representative will provide you with production credentials.

## Staging Integration Test

The process for handing off production credentials involves first validating your integration in staging by completing the following steps:

1. Register a panelist with demographic information using /register-user or via survey click into a survey returned by /get-surveys-for-vendor.
2. Click into a survey returned by /get-surveys-for-user or /get-surveys-for-vendor.

Once you've completed these steps, please contact <apisupport@prodegemr.com> and provide the registered VPID and Project ID of the survey click. We'll then provide you with your production credentials and instructions on next steps.
