# Dynamo CSMS: EV Charging Infrastructure Management

> Dynamo CSMS is a complete Charging Station Management System. Manage charge points, billing, commissioning, and real-time monitoring through one API.

Dynamo CSMS gives you a single API to manage your entire EV charging infrastructure — from commissioning hardware in the field to billing drivers and monitoring fleet health in real time. Whether you're building a CPO application, integrating a roaming network, or onboarding as a field installer, Dynamo CSMS has the endpoints you need.

## Get started in four steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get API access">
    Register in the [Developer Portal](https://csms-staging-155982676532.europe-west1.run.app/developer) and create an organization. Generate an API key with the scopes you need.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authenticate your requests">
    Pass your API key in every request using the `Authorization: Bearer <key>` header or the `X-API-Key` header.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Register your first charge point">
    Use the commissioning API to register a charge point, generate its certificate, and bring it online.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Monitor and bill">
    Set up tariffs, configure webhooks for real-time events, and track energy usage and revenue through the analytics endpoints.
  </Step>
</Steps>
