Setup
=====
Before you begin to use the API, you will need to create public/private keys
and pair them to your account. The command line tool was made to help you
generate your keys and to pair them. Before you can make any request that is
not open to the public, you will need to do this.
.. note::
You will need to create and pair your keys before you can start creating
invoices and doing other things with the API that are not open to the
public.
