Getting the Trimble Connect API credentials
Once you have familiarized yourself with the Trimble Connect, .NET SDK, API References, code examples and feel ready to start leveraging the Trimble Connect APIs, you will need to request API credentials unique to your organization and connected application.
Note that every application needs its own API credentials. This helps us to help you if you have any issues with your integration.
Issuing application credentials normally takes 3-4 business days.
