Getting Started

Integration with ChronosHub starts with an onboarding process managed by the ChronosHub team. During onboarding, you will receive:

• An API key if you need to send events to ChronosHub (inbound flow).
• A webhook secret if you need to receive events from ChronosHub (outbound flow), along with configuration of your webhook URL and event subscriptions.

See Partner Onboarding for the full onboarding process.

Environments

Environment	Base URL
Test	https://TBD
Staging	https://TBD
Production	https://TBD

Interactive API Reference

A Scalar API reference page is available in the test environment at:

https://TBD/scalar/v1

You can use this page to explore all available endpoints, view request/response schemas, and try out API calls directly with your test API key. This is a good starting point when developing your integration.

Note: The interactive API reference is only available in the test environment and is not accessible in staging or production.
