# Get Started

XendBridge is a product of Binance and Google Launchpad-backed Xend Finance, which offers a peer-to-peer system that allows businesses to securely transact between fiat and cryptocurrency.

Below are the complete list and documentation of our external Restful APIs. You will also be able to utilize and test all of our APIs from here.

<figure><img src="https://541477069-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEJfjUFckB6ClQLv1UxYC%2Fuploads%2FxZAiyUTijePq25UPOJ7A%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=e850c091-ee3c-41b5-90f9-69d6b84538f1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The first step after signing up, you would create a new **application** and upload a logo.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://541477069-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEJfjUFckB6ClQLv1UxYC%2Fuploads%2F7rayMtLufh18McUiMSqU%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=56b78a46-644e-4daa-8cbe-656a678becaf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="https://541477069-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEJfjUFckB6ClQLv1UxYC%2Fuploads%2F2ebArxY6MBxMjBEiDm8l%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7f38f7eb-6c87-4ee7-84e3-da58bc3f24c9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Then the next step after creating the new app is to add supported **currencies** to the application.

<figure><img src="https://541477069-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEJfjUFckB6ClQLv1UxYC%2Fuploads%2FedSUZ009AHz2ulDA978X%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=65778590-daee-48a1-aa0f-04b75cd93897" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Next, we'd set an order timeout for your application for buying, selling, or swapping orders.

Final step, we would then add the supported **payment methods** for the application.

### Get Your Secret and Public Keys <a href="#keys" id="keys"></a>

Your API requests are authenticated using **public** and **secret** keys. Any request that should require a key but doesn't include it will return an error.

You can get your secret and public key in the webhook section on the dashboard.

### Renewing Keys

For our quarterly security checks and updates, we advise renewing your public and secret keys on intervals or quarterly. Here's where you can do this;
