Start a new key
Tap "New key". A sheet opens with one field, "Name".

Name the key
Name it for the server that will use it, then tap "Create".

"API key created" shows the key itself; it starts with

- Step 8
Copy and store it
Tap "Copy key" — it turns to "Copied" — and store it now; it is shown once.
- Step 9
Close the sheet
Tap "Close". Behind it the notice "Saved." has been sitting there since the key was created.
- Step 10
Open the docs
"How to publish a signal" on the same card has the address, headers and a sample request.
Result
A new row appears on the card with the name, the key's first 14 characters and the date. Your own system can now publish signals into Sigrah with that key.
