1. Sign up and start exploring our APIs

We recommend that you're always logged into our portal when using it because we have a lot of documentation that is only readable when logged in (and we think it's a better experience when you log in from the beginning!)

2. Register your app

Before you can send a request to our Sandbox, you need to register your app. Once your app has been created, a Client ID will be generated and this Client ID is required to access the Sandbox APIs.

The Client ID is the unique identifier for each of your registered apps and must be submitted with all API calls. All registered apps can be found here: Create and Manage apps

 

3. Implement our APIs

When a Client ID has been obtained, you must then subscribe to the APIs you want to implement.

Once you reach this stage, you are now ready to start using our APIs in your new app!

We suggests you start reading our documentation in the following order:

1. Read our Technical Guidelines to get a step-by-step guide to complete a request for an acount list, a payment etc.
2. Read more about all our API products and Country Specific Information (which covers business rules, attributes, implementation guidelines), you can find that here: Handelsbanken APIs
3. And finally, get into all details, that is, read our Open API specifications: All API products

 

4. Test and verify

In order to ensure that your app is well tested before going live, it is crucial to test the integration with our APIs in the Sandbox.
