To publish a game on Puls, you need a publisher account and an API key.

Sign Up#

1. Go to puls.games and create an account
2. Open your Publisher Dashboard
3. Complete your publisher profile

Get Your API Key#

The API key is how the CLI tool authenticates on your behalf. Think of it as a password for your tools.

1. In your dashboard, go to Settings → API Keys
2. Click Create API Key
3. Copy and save the key immediately — it’s shown only once

Your key looks like this:

puls_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

**Keep your API key safe.** Treat it like a password. If you lose it, you'll need to create a new one. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control.

Register Your First Game#

1. In the dashboard, click New Game
2. Fill in the details:
   • Title — your game’s display name
   • Slug — a short URL-safe name (e.g. space-runner). This becomes your subdomain: space-runner.puls.games
   • Description — a short summary players will see in the catalog
3. Upload your cover image and screenshots (see Prepare Your Game for specs)
4. Submit for review

**Choose your slug carefully.** Once set, it cannot be changed. It becomes part of your game's permanent web address.
