Getting started

Send your first event and see your first result in about ten minutes.

You can send your first event and see your first result in about ten minutes. You need a free developer account and a sandbox key — no card, no sales call.

1. Get a sandbox key

Create a free developer account (an email and one line about what you are building), then make a sandbox key under Developer tools. Docs always show a placeholder key; once you sign in, working surfaces fill in your real one.

2. Send an event

from dmzagent import Client

client = Client(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
client.emit_event(
    subject="pump-12",
    kind="observation",
    data={"route": "/checkout", "status": 200},
)

Placeholder values shown. Signed-in users see their real key on working screens.

3. See what happens

Every event runs the same four steps: it is taken in, weighed against your rule packs, responded to if a rule says so, and written to the logbook. Open your organization to watch it happen on screen.

  • Read Core concepts to learn the handful of words the platform uses.
  • Ask the assistant to write a working call for your language.
  • When you are ready for a team, open your organization — free to start.
