Open **API Keys** in the sidebar, under Developer, and click **Create API key**. The key is issued immediately. {% endhint %} ### What happens when my trial ends? Your trial expires automatically after 14 days. There is no need to cancel, and you will not be charged. Once expired: * When you sign in, you land on a **Your trial has ended** page instead of the app. It shows the Individual and Pro plans with their checkout buttons, plus links to see all plans, book a call, **Request a trial extension**, and **See your invitations** if a colleague has invited you to their organisation. * Trial API keys stop working 14 days after they were created. * Your data and settings are preserved. Saved swaps, MtM portfolios and dashboards are kept, and your access is restored the same day you subscribe. To extend your trial, click **Request a trial extension** on that page or email . *** ## Upgrading to a Paid Plan Pick a plan on the Pricing page (**View pricing** in the app sidebar while you are on a trial) or on the trial-ended page: * **Individual**, **Pro** and **Team** are self-serve. Click **Continue with Individual**, **Continue with Pro** or **Continue with Team** to pay by card. After paying you come straight back to BlueGamma, and your plan is usually active within a few seconds. On Team, you can then invite your colleagues. * **Enterprise** starts with a call so we can set up seats, data and contract terms. [Book a call](https://app.lemcal.com/@alivohra/website-demo?back=1). Every plan includes the web app and MCP access. The Excel Add-in is an optional add-on on every plan. The API is quoted separately: use **Request a quote** in the API section of the Pricing page. *** ## API Keys You issue and manage your own keys in the app, under **API Keys** in the sidebar. Trial accounts can issue one key. Paid accounts can issue keys when their plan includes API access, and can hold up to 5. You can give a key a name when you create it, for example Production or Excel add-in. A key is shown once, when it is created. If you lose one, delete it and issue a new one. There is nothing to wait for. **Trial keys** work for 14 days. They return live data on every index, are rate limited, and do not accept historical dates: the `valuation_time` and `valuation_date` parameters are rejected while you are on a trial key, and the historical-rates endpoints are unavailable. **Keys issued on a paid subscription** do not expire, but they stay rate limited and return live data only. Historical dates and higher limits come with an API data plan: use **Request a quote** in the API section of the Pricing page, or email . Your existing key and code carry over unchanged when we upgrade it. If your account cannot issue a key, the **API Keys** page shows **See plans** instead of **Create API key**. **Organisation keys.** If you belong to an organisation, your keys live under the organisation, not your personal account, and are shared with everyone in it. Once API access is part of the organisation's plan, its admins create, disable and delete keys from the **API Keys** page with **Create API key**. Members ask an admin. If API access isn't on the plan yet, the page shows **Ask about API access**. Keys a buyer created during their trial stay working after they subscribe. For details on how to use your API key, see [Authentication](/documentation/integrations/api/authentication.md). *** ## Billing and Invoices * **Individual**, **Pro** and **Team** are billed monthly by card on standard terms, and you can cancel any time. Team can also be paid by annual invoice. * **Enterprise** is on custom terms, invoiced annually in GBP, USD or EUR. * If you need to update your billing details or have a question about an invoice, email *** ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How do I change my email address? Email with your current and new email address. We'll update your account manually. ### My firm has multiple offices or domains. How does that work? Contact so we can ensure your accounts are correctly linked under one organisation. This avoids access conflicts if colleagues at different offices sign up independently. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://www.bluegamma.io/documentation/account-and-team-management/trials-and-billing.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
