# Quick start

> Resolve your first facility in under 5 minutes

## 1. Get a test API key

Sign up at [rcintell.com/signup](https://rcintell.com/signup) or use the [playground](https://rcintell.com/playground). You receive a `kp_test_` key. It only works on the test host.

## 2. Resolve knowledge

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api-dev.rcintell.com/v1/knowledge/resolve \
  -H "X-API-Key: kp_test_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"ccn": "170001", "cpt": "99213", "payer": "Medicare", "care_setting": "outpatient"}'
```

## 3. Look up a payer policy

```bash theme={null}
curl "https://api-dev.rcintell.com/v1/policies?payer=medicare_ffs&code=99213&state=MA" \
  -H "X-API-Key: kp_test_..."
```

## 4. Production

Upgrade, mint a `kp_live_` key, and switch the host to `https://api.rcintell.com`. See [test mode](/test-mode) and [authentication](/authentication).
