<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your API key">
    Log in to app.thatsme.com.br → Settings → Integrations → Generate API Key.
    Copy the key — it's shown only once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find your event ID">
    ```bash theme={null}
    curl https://api.thatsme.com.br/api/v1.0/events \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
    ```

    Copy the `event_id` from the response.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find your badge ID">
    ```bash theme={null}
    curl https://api.thatsme.com.br/api/v1.0/badges \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
    ```

    Copy the `badge_id` from the response.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Issue a certificate">
    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -X POST https://api.thatsme.com.br/api/v1.0/invitations \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "event_id": "your-event-id",
        "badge_id": "your-badge-id",
        "recipient_name": "Leonardo Silva",
        "recipient_email": "leonardo@email.com",
        "reason": "Completed the 42km marathon in 1:42:32"
      }'
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  The recipient receives an email immediately. If they don't have an account yet,
  the certificate waits for them — it appears automatically when they create an account.
