# Request Access

> How to request Gauntlet API access for your organization — the approval process, what to expect, and next steps.

Gauntlet provisions API access through a manual review process. There is no self-serve sign-up.

<Info>
  Gauntlet reviews partnership requests individually. There is no self-serve sign-up at this time.
</Info>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Contact the partnerships team">
    Reach out to the Gauntlet partnerships team with:

    * Your organization name
    * Your intended use case (e.g., yield aggregation, portfolio display, custom vault deployment)
    * Technical contact name and email
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and approval">
    The Gauntlet partnerships team reviews your request. This is a manual process — expect a response within a few business days. You may be asked follow-up questions about your integration plans.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Receive your credentials">
    Once approved, you receive an API key via secure channel. This is your credential for authenticating with the Gauntlet API and SDK.

    If you plan to use the SDK for deposits and withdrawals, also request a **builder code** at this stage. Your builder code is a short partner identifier that the Gauntlet indexer uses to attribute on-chain volume to your integration. It is separate from your API key — using an unregistered string will silently go untracked.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Next step:** Once you have your API key, head to [Auth & Credentials](/onboarding/credentials) to start making API calls.
