2. Selecting 'Add a new App'.
3. Completing the mandatory fields.
4. Selecting the API that you want to use.
5. Selecting 'Create App'.

You'll now see your App which will be automatically approved to use the selected compliance API. (Some Apps may require further steps to access the compliance API. These details are under each API's requirements)

Complete testing

You'll need to fully test your app against our compliance environment. The compliance environment is a production like environment designed for testing purposes. The API key you're issued when you created your app will only give access to the compliance environment, so you don't need to worry about sending dummy data to production. If you require any help please contact support:
Contact the Digital Operations team at ACC

Request production access and create a production app

Once you've completed testing of your app in our compliance environment and want to put it into production, then you need to send an email requesting production access:

• Go to Contact the Digital Operations team at ACC.
• Complete the Name, Email and Message fields in the form.
• Select 'Request for production access' in the 'What are you contacting us about' field.

We'll contact you to discuss the process of getting your app into production as some Apps will require certain criteria and testing scenarios to be completed before this access can be approved.
