Steps
Create a developer account and application in the OpenGov Developer Portal
Navigate to App Management to generate an API key for the application
Use the API Catalog to locate the Permitting & Licensing API section and review which record-level operations (e.g. record attachments) are exposed
Attach the API key to requests as directed by the portal's authentication documentation for the specific API being called
Confirm with the agency which OpenGov product modules and API scopes are enabled for their instance, since availability varies by customer configuration
Known gotchas
OpenGov authenticates via portal-issued API keys managed under App Management rather than a generic OAuth client-credentials flow
The API Catalog is organized per product module (e.g. Permitting & Licensing vs. Procurement), so credentials and available endpoints for one module do not automatically apply to another
