First of all, you will need a new API key.

### Generate your API key

To create a new key: 

1. Go to [Integrations & API](https://app.emailchaser.com/settings/integrations) in your settings
2. Click "Create API key"
3. Enter an API key name (used for display purposes only) 
4. Select the scopes you would like this API key to have 
5. Click the "Create" button 
6. Copy the key and store it in a secure place 

**For security reasons, the API key will be displayed only once, and there is no way to recover it if you loose it.**

You are ready to go now, proceed to the Authentication section below to see how to use your API key.
