# Get Credentials

Obtain your API credentials from the FinHub Developer Portal.

## Access Developer Portal

1. Log into [FinHub Sandbox Portal](https://sandbox.finhub.cloud)
2. Navigate to **Sandbox** → **API Access**
3. View or generate credentials

## Your Credentials

| Credential | Description |
|------------|-------------|
| **Tenant ID** | Your unique tenant identifier |
| **Client ID** | OAuth client identifier |
| **Client Secret** | OAuth client secret (keep secure!) |

## Security Best Practices

- Never expose Client Secret in client-side code
- Store credentials in environment variables
- Use secrets management in production
- Rotate credentials periodically

## Example Environment Setup

```bash
export FINHUB_TENANT_ID="your_tenant_id"
export FINHUB_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
export FINHUB_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"
```
