# End-to-End guide

This section describes two common end-to-end flows for working with the Travel Rule API.
Each flow is broken down into clear, actionable steps explaining what to do and what you get as a result.

## Flow 1: Create and Process a Transfer Using a Single User

This flow demonstrates how a single VASP user can authenticate, generate a Travel Address, create a transfer, and then locate it in the Transfer Inbox.

**Step 1.** Register in the Travel Rule System
Register a new user account in the Travel Rule application.

👉 Go to: [Dashboard](https://app.travel-rule.com/login)

Result:
You will have an active user account with access to the dashboard.

**Step 2.** Generate a Production API Key.
Create an API key for the production environment with an expiration date set in the future.

👉 Go to: [Settings](https://app.travel-rule.com/profile-settings/api-keys)

Result:
You will obtain a Production API Key that can be used to authenticate API requests.

**Step 3.** Generate an Access Token

Use your API key to create an authorization request.

👉 Go to: [API documentation](https://docs.travel-rule.com/api/vasp/auth)

Send the authorization request as described in the documentation.

Result:
The response will contain an access token.

**Step 4.** Configure the Access Token

Copy the received access token and add it to the authorization settings of your API requests (for example, as a Bearer token in request headers).

Result:
Your API requests are now authenticated.

**Step 5.** Generate a Travel Address

Call the Travel Address generation endpoint.

👉 Go to: [API documentation](https://docs.travel-rule.com/api/vasp/address)

Send the request according to the specification.

Result:
The response will contain a Travel Address.

**Step 6.** Create a Transfer

Use the generated Travel Address to create a transfer.

👉 Go to: [API documentation](https://docs.travel-rule.com/api/vasp/transfer)

While sending the request:

- Provide the Travel Address
- Specify a callback URL generated on [Webhook](https://webhook.site/)


Result:
The response will contain the transaction ID of the created transfer.

**Step 7.** Find the Transfer in the Inbox

Copy the transaction ID and open the Transfer Inbox in the application.

👉 Go to: [Dashboard](https://app.travel-rule.com/transfer-inbox)

Search for the transaction using the transaction ID.

Result:
You will see the created transfer in the Transfer Inbox.

## Flow 2: Transfer Between Two Different Users

This flow demonstrates how one user generates a Travel Address and another user initiates a transfer using that address. The transaction will be visible to both users.

**Step 1.** Register the First User

Create the first user account.

👉 Go to: [Dasboard](https://app.travel-rule.com)

Result:
First user account is created.

**Step 2.** Generate a Production API Key (User 1)

Create a production API key with a future expiration date for the first user.

Result:
Production API Key for User 1.

**Step 3.** Generate an Access Token (User 1)

Authorize using the API key.

👉 Go to: [API documentation](https://docs.travel-rule.com/api/vasp/auth)

Result:
Access token for User 1.

**Step 4.** Configure the Access Token (User 1)

Add the access token to API request authorization settings.

Result:
User 1 can now make authenticated API calls.

**Step 5.** Generate a Travel Address (User 1)

Call the Travel Address generation endpoint.

👉 Go to: [API documentation](https://docs.travel-rule.com/api/vasp/address)

Result:
A Travel Address generated by User 1.

**Step 6.** Register or Log In as a Second User

Either:

- Register a new account, or
- Log in using an existing different user


👉 Go to: [Dasboard](https://app.travel-rule.com)

Result:
Second user account is available.

**Step 7.** Generate a Production API Key (User 2)

Create a production API key with a future expiration date for the second user.

Result:
Production API Key for User 2.

**Step 8.** Generate an Access Token (User 2)

Authorize User 2 using their API key.

👉 Go to: [API documentation](https://docs.travel-rule.com/api/vasp/auth)

Result:
Access token for User 2.

**Step 9.** Create a Transfer Using the Travel Address

Copy the Travel Address generated by User 1 and create a transfer as User 2.

👉 Go to: [API documentation](https://docs.travel-rule.com/api/vasp/transfer)

While sending the request:

- Provide the Travel Address generated by User 1
- Specify a callback URL generated on [Webhook](https://webhook.site/)


Result:
The response will contain the transaction ID of the created transfer.

**Step 10.** Verify the Transfer for Both Users

Copy the transaction ID and open the Transfer Inbox.

👉 Go to: [Dashboard](https://app.travel-rule.com/transfer-inbox)

Check the transaction:

- Under User 1
- Under User 2


Result:
The same transaction is visible in the Transfer Inbox for both users.
