# Retired signup API

`POST https://app.routerplus.com/v1/signup` has been removed and returns HTTP `404`.
Public account creation is available through Clerk in the browser. The former
local magic-link submission route, `POST https://app.routerplus.com/login`, also returns
HTTP `404`.

Open [Sign up](https://app.routerplus.com/signup), complete Clerk authentication and email
verification, then save the first API key shown after sign-in. You can create
additional keys at [API keys](https://app.routerplus.com/console/keys). Each raw key is shown
once. Existing customers should [sign in](https://app.routerplus.com/login) with the same
verified email to retain their account, balance and keys.

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

We match your first $100 in credit purchases, dollar for dollar. The offer applies to eligible accounts; Billing shows your remaining match.

See [Pricing](/docs/pricing) and [Billing](https://app.routerplus.com/console/billing) for the offer available to your account.

Existing `tm_vk_` API keys and the gateway's authentication headers are unchanged.
