## Trader: personal API access

    Follow the [Quickstart](/revamp/quickstart) to learn the basic flow: log in, check your balance, find an instrument, and place a trade.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open an account">
    Sign up in the Amana app or on the website, then complete verification.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get credentials">
    API credentials can be requested via sales channel or from the support team
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start building">
    Begin with read-only calls, such as account balance and market data, before you place orders.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Company: build a product on Amana

For brokers, fintechs, wallets, investment apps, and introducing brokers (IBs).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Read the documentation">
    Review the [platform overview](/platform-overview) and the [API reference](/revamp/api-reference/overview).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open a business account">
    Register your company with Amana.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Talk to our team">
    Discuss your use case and commercials with Amana Sales. IBs start here.

  <Step title="Submit IPs for whitelisting">
    Send Amana the server IP addresses that will call the API.

    <Warning>
      IP whitelisting is mandatory for business access. Production access is not enabled until your IPs are whitelisted. Amana rejects requests from any other address.
    </Warning>

  <Step title="Test in the sandbox">
    Sandbox credentials will be sent to the POC once the above steps are completed

  <Step title="Go live">
    Complete the [go-live checklist](/integration-guides/go-live) before you serve clients.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Not sure which one you are?

* If your clients use your app or want to get our API services, you're a company.
* If only you trade and want it to use for your personal use, you're a trader.

Companies can track every step with the [partner onboarding checklist](/revamp/partner-onboarding-checklist).
