Sky Ledge API - Quick start

We’re going to show you how easy it is to:
1.​Get your Sky Ledge API Key 
2.​Create a Control Room via API 
3.​Create an Asset and display it on a map​
This guide will just focus on the API calls, the next section will unpack this in more detail using our Hero Potions Inc example
Getting your Sky Ledge API Key 
To get your API Key:
1.Click on the Manage Organization menu item
2.Click on API Keys in the sidebar
3.Add your API Key as part of a X-Authorization header in your API requests
How to retrieve your API Key
Creating assets and displaying them on a map in four steps
Creating a Control Room
