   Steps how to get and use FastSpring credentials : Http [Http]
   Here is how to obtain API Credentials. You might be able to use your Account Login UserId / Password but we do not reccomend using it. Instead of that use API credentials generated using the following way.

   1. In the FastSpring App, navigate to Developer Tools > APIs > API Credentials.
   2. Click Create. FastSpring will automatically generate your username and password. Use this on the API connection UI
   3. Securely store the credentials for future reference.
   4. If you reset your credentials, update each stored procedure that relies on API access to prevent failed requests.
