Create a Portal Account

1. Click on the Create an account link.

   

2. Complete the registration form to set up your API Portal account.

   Important:
   The E-mail Address that you use for the API Portal account must be different from your IBM ID associated with your Bluemix account.
   
   The IBM ID for your Bluemix account is already registered in the API Portal and associated with the API Portal’s admin account, which you will use later to customize the look & feel of the portal site.
   
   Also, take note of your Developer Organization. This organization name will be how API Administrators view your account. For example, admins have the ability to restrict visibility of products to certain consumer organizations.

3. Check the E-mail account that you used to sign up to the portal. After a few minutes, you will receive a registration link that you will need to click on to complete the account registration.

4. Click on the registration link and use your E-Mail address and password to sign in to the API Portal.
