Hello, it seems i will need to have access to the API for the POC of the plateform i'm trying to develop (marketplace where users can book time with experts). I managed to run the self hosted version of cal.com in test mode (with yarn run dx it was quite straightforward), but it seems there is no access to the api yet. I saw in this channel i should go through the setup guide https://console.cal.com , but i'm stuck at first step 😕 Is there anything else to do before ? (cal username nicolasd)

hey, will investigate! sorry about this 🙏
z
this should be fixed now

Thanks, i'll try again and let you know !
Hello @zomars, i could continue with the process, but i'm stuck at the checkout page, when i enter the 42424242.... credit card number (as stated in step 5 https://docs.cal.com/how-to-guides/how-to-test-api-in-a-local-instance) i get the following error. I only want to test the API locally at first, to validate i can fully meet my requirements with cal.com before going live, so i thought i could go through with the stripe test card as stated in the docs. If i need to put a real card number, can you assure me i won't be billed before going live ? Thanks for your help

It seems you're on
<http://console.cal.com|console.cal.com>
instead of
<http://console.cal.dev|console.cal.dev>

Yes indeed, i tried in console.cal.dev today but i couldn't login with my cal.com account. So i tried to create an account there (https://cal.dev/signup) but i got an error. I tried twice. If i want to register again with the same username it tells me "Username already in use" so something was created. But i can't login with the credentials i used to create the account on cal.dev and i also tried forgot password to see if it does know me but i don't receive anything either. I tried a third time to register on cal.dev with a different mail but still got same error . Any idea ? Sorry to require your help again but i can't get through this process ...

cc @Ali can you follow up this case? It seems like something is broken in staging

Thanks in advance @Ali, please let me know when it's fixed !

Hi @Nicolas D. Can you please confirm you have access to our API submodule repo?
n
I don't have access to the API submodule yet. I understood i first need to create an account in staging (cal.dev), but this is where i'm stuck, when i try to create an account (as i can't log in with my cal.com credentials) i always get the error mentioned above (incorrect-username-password) but it seems something is created cause when i try again it tells me the username is already taken.

You actually need access to the API submodule first anyway, because even if you get the staging credentials, you still wouldn't have the API submodule running locally to test it out.

Ok i see... but to get access to the API submodule i first need to suscribe to the plateform plan right ? Fact is I didn't want to be charged before being sure we'll be able to develop the POC we're trying to build. And therefore validate our solution in staging environment creating a deployment with the stripe test credit card.
Or i misunderstood and i won't be charged ?

So, you don't get charged until the end of the month. cc: @Shiraz Dole for further details around it 🙏
You can keep testing as much as you want, and we only charge at the end of the month

Ok thanks @Ali, that wasn't clear for me indeed, i thought i wouldn't be charged until i'm ready to go live. I'll try to see if cal.com is a good fit during the first 30 days then. Thanks
