To follow along with this tutorial, you have to have:

  • Active account in Tradenity

  • Have a working ruby development environment (Ruby > 1.9.3, 2.2.x installation, your IDE of choice)

Setup your credentials

First of all, you have to get API keys for your store, you can find it in your store Edit page. To get there navigate to the stores list page, click on the Edit button next to your store name, scroll down till you find the API Keys section.
