Response
Save the tenant_id and password — you will need them to log in.

Step 2 — Log in and get a session token

Step 3 — Retrieve your API key

Response
Your API key (eldr_sk_...) authenticates event ingestion requests.

Step 4 — Register a webhook endpoint

EldrStream will deliver all your events to this URL. If you do not have a publicly reachable endpoint yet, use a service like webhook.site for testing.
