# Do I need a WHOOP device to create a developer account?

No. A standard WHOOP account is enough to create a WHOOP developer app.

**No.** You don't need a WHOOP device or a paid membership to create a [WHOOP](https://docs.tryterra.co/health-and-fitness-api/whoop) developer app. A standard WHOOP account is enough.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Create a WHOOP account with any email and password in the WHOOP app.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Sign in to the [WHOOP Developer Dashboard](https://developer-dashboard.whoop.com/) with the same details.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Create a team and register an app, then complete the WHOOP setup on the Connections page of the Terra dashboard.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Your end users still need their own WHOOP to have data to share.
