# Requesting an Account

Before you can attempt to make an authenticated request, you must first register your application with the ParqEx service by emailing ParqEx Support at <support@parqex.com>. ParqEx will then generate an account and return the credentials (a `client_id` and `client_secret`) to the **developer's contact email**.

You must supply ParqEx with the following:

* Developer Contact Information
  * Name
  * Email address
* Company/Product Name (eg. Google)
* Company/Product Website URL (eg. <https://google.com>)
* Application Name (can be same as company/product name)
* Description of Application (can be same as company/product desc.)
* Website URL of Application (if different than Website URL)
* Your Redirect/Callback URL for OAuth (e.g. <https://mysaasproduct.com/oauth/v1/authorize>)&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**A Note about Mulitple Environments** - Most applications have multiple environments (eg. development, certification, production, etc.). If your application has more than one environment, you must supply the additional information for each environment as separate credentials will need to be created for each. Supply the following for each different environment:

* URL for application (eg. qa.example.com)
* Redirect/callback URL for OAuth
  {% endhint %}

### Example Request Email

Please use the following format to compose the email and send it to <support@parqex.com>:

> Dear Support,&#x20;
>
> I am requesting OAuth credentials for the below application.&#x20;
>
> **Name of Developer Contact:** John Doe\
> **Email Address of Developer Contact:** <john@myhomeapp.com>\
> **Name of Company/Product:** MyHome Inc.\

**Note:** The Redirect URL (or Callback URL) is the endpoint Beam will redirect the user after they authorize (or deny) your application.
