Pre-Requisites for using Salesforce Einstein API

When you sign up for an account, you’re prompted to log in to your Salesforce org. After you log in, you’re prompted to allow the sign-up page to access information in your Salesforce org. Giving access lets the sign-up page retrieve some basic information such as your ID, profile, email, address, and phone number. After your account is created, you can download your key.

Follow the below steps to setup the einstein account:

• Navigate to the sign-up page at https://api.einstein.ai/signup.
• Click Sign Up Using Salesforce.

• On the Salesforce login page, type your Trailhead Playground username and password and click Log In.

• Click Allow so the page can access basic information, such as your email address, and perform requests.

• On the activation page, if you’re using Chrome, click Download Key to save the key locally. The key file is named einstein_platform.pem. If you’re using any other browser, cut and paste your key from the browser into a text file and save it as einstein_platform.pem.

Upload your key:

• The .pem file you downloaded contains your key. You upload your key to Salesforce Files so that the Apex controller class can access it.
• In Salesforce, from Setup, click Files.
• Click Upload Files.
• Navigate to the directory where you saved the einstein_platform.pem file, select the file, and click Open.
• Click Done to confirm the upload.
• You see the key file in the list of files owned by you.
