Getting Started
Developer Console
The Developer Console at console.vaneltonmedia.com is where you create and manage apps, get API keys, create products and invite team members.
Getting access
You need a Vanelton ID account and developer status to use the console. Sign up at vaneltonmedia.com/register, then request developer access on the console sign-up page.
Developer accounts require identity verification. After submitting your request, access is typically granted within 24 hours.
Creating your first app
2
New Project
Click + New Project. Enter your app name, company, and select the category. Choose a package name — e.g.
com.studio.game.3
Copy your credentials
After creation, the dashboard shows your AppID (package name) and AppKey (25-char secret). Copy AppKey immediately — it's shown once.
4
Set the auth header
All API calls require:
Authorization: AppID:AppKeyApp credentials
| Credential | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AppID | com.studio.appname |
Unique identifier — your app's package name. Visible in the console dashboard. |
| AppKey | 25 random characters | Secret key. Store in a secure config file, never in client-side code or version control. |
Never expose your AppKey in client-side code. If you need to authenticate from a browser or game client, route requests through your own backend server that holds the AppKey.
Managing products
Products are items users can purchase via Vanelton Pay. In the console, navigate to your app → Products to create them.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
product | One-time purchase. User owns it forever. |
in-app-product | Consumable item — can be purchased multiple times. |
subscription | Recurring billing via Stripe. |
vaneltonpass | Built-in Vanelton Pass subscription. |
Each product gets a unique itemKey (MD5 hash) used in Pay API calls.
App settings
From your app dashboard you can configure:
- App metadata — name, icon, website, version
- AppKey rotation — generate a new key (invalidates the old one)
- Category — game, tool, utility, entertainment, etc.
- Realtime Database — view and edit JSON database entries
- AI models — configure Lia integration for your app
