# Getting started

Register or log in, explore the API catalogue and make your first API call. This guide walks you through the complete onboarding flow.

Step 01![Register for Europcar Mobility Group developer portal](https://emobg-devportal-images.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/landscape-LOYALTY1.jpg)Create your account

## Step 1. Register or log in

**Europcar Mobility Group employees** can log in directly using **SSO**, no registration needed. For any concern regarding your SSO access, contact the API & Event Factory team.

**External partners and developers** can [sign up](https://developers.emobg.io/register) to create a new account. Your access request will be reviewed by the API & Event Factory team before activation.

[Sign up](https://developers.emobg.io/register)[Log in](https://developers.emobg.io/login)

Step 02![Explore the EMobG API catalogue](https://emobg-devportal-images.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/loading-out.jpg)Browse API products

## Step 2. Explore the API catalogue

Access the [API catalogue](https://developers.emobg.io/apis) to discover all EMobG APIs. Each API product includes interactive documentation with a built-in **Try it out** functionality. Test endpoints directly from the browser. See how to authenticate below to start making requests.

3Authenticate

## Request your access token

Use the following cURL command to request an access token. Replace the placeholder values with your actual credentials.

[More information](https://europcarmobility.atlassian.net/wiki/x/EwUqLg)

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.europcar-mobility-group.com/auth/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials" \
  -d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \
  -d "client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
```

The response returns a JSON payload with your bearer token:

```json
{
  "access_token": "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": 3600,
  "scope": "fleet:read vehicles:read"
}
```

4Test your integration

## Make your first API call

The fastest way to test an API is to use the **Try it out** functionality available on every API product page in the [API catalogue](https://developers.emobg.io/apis). Select any endpoint, fill in the required parameters and execute the request directly from the browser.

The Try it out feature supports code generation in **Shell, Python, Node, JavaScript, Go, Java, C# and Ruby**. Copy the generated snippet into your application and you are ready to go.

Europcar Mobility Group provides **non-production environments** that are available depending on the API product. Availability, base URLs and specific limitations vary per API.
