Before you can use Panxi Zhichuang products, you must create an Alibaba Cloud account. This guide describes the preparations that are required to get started.
Getting started
Create an account
Create an Alibaba Cloud account and complete identity verification. You can verify your identity as an individual or an enterprise.
Create an Alibaba Cloud account
Go to the Alibaba Cloud website and log in.
If you have an Alibaba Cloud account, click Log On. You can log on with a QR code, your account password, or your mobile phone number.
If you do not have an Alibaba Cloud account, click Register in the upper-right corner of the page to create an account.
On the registration page, you can register using a QR code, your mobile phone number, or an account name and password. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the registration.
Security reminder
To keep your account secure, protect your credentials. Do not share your account with others. Update your password regularly.
Verify your Alibaba Cloud account identity
After you create an account, you must complete identity verification.
You must complete identity verification before you can purchase and use Alibaba Cloud products.
Hover over your profile picture in the upper-right corner to open the user information menu bar.
Click Identity Verification to go to the verification page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the identity verification.
If you are an enterprise user, complete the enterprise verification process for more benefits. Otherwise, complete the individual verification process.
After the verification is successful, the status on your account information page is updated.
Server-side integration
Server-side integration for the Panxi Zhichuang platform uses OpenAPI.
Before you call the OpenAPI, you need an AccessKey for authentication.
Create an AccessKey
The Panxi Zhichuang Open Platform uses OpenAPI for server-side integration. You must provide an AccessKey for authentication when you call the OpenAPI. Follow these steps to create an AccessKey:
Click your profile picture in the upper-right corner to go to your account information page.
In the navigation pane on the left, click AccessKey. Then, click Create AccessKey and follow the on-screen instructions.
Important:
An Alibaba Cloud account AccessKey provides access to Alibaba Cloud APIs and grants full permissions to your account. You must keep your AccessKey confidential.
Do not expose your AccessKey on public channels, such as GitHub. This prevents security threats that can arise from a compromised key.
For better security, follow the best practices for cloud migration. Use an AccessKey that belongs to a Resource Access Management (RAM) user for API calls, rather than the AccessKey of your root Alibaba Cloud account.
The longer an AccessKey is active, the higher the risk of its exposure. Rotate your AccessKeys regularly by creating new keys and replacing old ones. Immediately assess and manage the risks that are associated with your existing AccessKeys.
