# Quickstart

Welcome to the fastest way to get started with our API. No API keys, no setup headaches — just results in under a minute.

<Tip>
  Our API authentication is in the request as an attribute, so you can start testing right away without API Keys or managing tokens.
</Tip>

## What You’ll Do

<Steps>
  <Step title="Understand the Payload">
    Our API works with XML. Authentication is embedded directly in the payload — no headers, no keys. The ID to set in POS node is `TEST` and the password is `testpass`
  </Step>

  <Step title="Try a Live Request">
    Use our [API Playground](../api-reference/endpoint) to send a real request and get a live response.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Explore Responses">
    See how our API handles your XML input and returns structured, reliable data.
