# Retired signup API

`POST https://demo.routerplus.com/v1/signup` is removed and returns HTTP `404`. `POST https://demo.routerplus.com/login`, the old magic-link route, also returns HTTP `404`. Create an account in the browser through Clerk:

1. Open [Sign up](https://demo.routerplus.com/signup).
2. Complete Clerk authentication and email verification.
3. Save the first API key shown after sign-in. RouterPlus shows each raw key once.

Create more keys at [API keys](https://demo.routerplus.com/console/keys). If you have an account, [sign in](https://demo.routerplus.com/login) with the same verified email. Your account, balance and keys stay.

Signup does not grant free credit. Paid credit purchases start at **$10**.

If purchase matching is offered for your account, Billing shows the cap and remaining matching credit.

See [Pricing](/docs/pricing), and [Billing](https://demo.routerplus.com/console/billing) for the offer on your account.

Existing `tm_vk_` API keys and the authentication headers do not change. Continue with [Quickstart](/docs/quickstart) or [Authentication](/docs/authentication).
