Welcome
Welcome to Acclaim — the payments infrastructure built for the insurance industry.
We help carriers, MGAs, TPAs, and brokers move money faster and smarter. Whether you’re sending commissions, paying claims, or creating new digital insurance products, Acclaim gives you modern rails to build on.
This guide introduces the basics of how to begin using Acclaim and sets you up to explore the core concepts behind the API.
Create an Account
In order to access the Acclaim API you need to first create an account. Once you have an account, sign in to the Acclaim Console. From the dashboard, you can manage settings, create wallets, and issue API keys for both live and sandbox environments.
If you want to experiment safely, use a sandbox account. Sandbox accounts share the same API base URL as production but use separate API keys and won’t move real money.
API Keys
Acclaim uses API keys to authenticate requests. You’ll find them under Settings → API Keys in the console.
- Secret key — used on your server to authenticate API calls. Keep it private.
- Publishable key — safe to use client-side with Acclaim’s embeddable components.
