This section provides step-by-step tutorials for each Enhanced Currency Conversion Calculator API endpoint, plus guides covering account setup, the reference application, and background on the data the API returns.

## Recommended Order {#recommended-order}

If you are integrating for the first time, we recommend working through these in order:

1. [How to Create a Project](https://developer.mastercard.com/enhanced-currency-conversion-calculator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/how-to-create-a-project-tutorial/index.md) --- create your Sandbox project and credentials.
2. [Currency Conversion Summary Tutorial](https://developer.mastercard.com/enhanced-currency-conversion-calculator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/currency-conversion-summary-tutorial/index.md) --- the primary `GET /summary-rates` call.
3. [Rate Publication Status Tutorial](https://developer.mastercard.com/enhanced-currency-conversion-calculator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/rate-publication-status-tutorial/index.md) --- `GET /rate-statuses`.
4. [Currency Lists Tutorial](https://developer.mastercard.com/enhanced-currency-conversion-calculator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/currency-lists-tutorial/index.md) --- `GET /mc-currencies` and `GET /ecb-currencies`.
5. [How to Integrate using Reference Application](https://developer.mastercard.com/enhanced-currency-conversion-calculator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/how-to-integrate-using-reference-application-tutorial/index.md) --- see a working, signed client end to end.
6. [Data Explanations](https://developer.mastercard.com/enhanced-currency-conversion-calculator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/data-explanations/index.md) --- background on the rates, dates, and terminology used across the API.
7. [Onboarding Checklist](https://developer.mastercard.com/enhanced-currency-conversion-calculator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/onboarding-checklist/index.md) and [How to Move to Production](https://developer.mastercard.com/enhanced-currency-conversion-calculator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/how-to-move-to-production-tutorial/index.md) --- once Sandbox testing is complete.
