We are going to go trough the process of obtaining account hash and API key from Realeyes Self Service.
What is an account has?
Account hash is an indentifier used to start up the Experience SDK, do API calls and recieve data from Realeyes' serers.
What is an API Key?
API Key is a secret key used to authenticate the user to the Verfiy API. It is used to identify the user account and to check if the user account has the necessary permissions to access the API.
Where to obtain account hash and API Key?
