# Get Started

Use this guide to choose an API, set up access in Geoscape Hub, and make your first request.

## Start here

1. [Create an application in Hub](/guides/authentication) with access to the products you need and copy its Consumer Key
2. Choose an API below and follow its Quickstart to make your first request
3. [Adapt a code example](/guides/code-examples) for your application or use the interactive endpoint tester
4. [Handle errors](/guides/errors), [request rates](/guides/rate-limiting), and [attribution](/guides/attribution)

## Choose an API

Each API’s Quickstart appears before its endpoint groups in navigation. The [API Reference](/reference) provides request inputs, response schemas, examples, an interactive tester, and a downloadable OpenAPI specification.
