# Getting an API Key

> How to get an API key for Verbex Platform

To get an API key, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the [Verbex Platform](https://console.verbex.ai) and sign up for an account.
2. Once you have signed up, go to the [API Keys](https://console.verbex.ai/dashboard/api-keys) page.
3. Click on the "Add new API key" button.
4. Enter a name for your API key (just for your reference) and click on the "Create" button.
5. You will see the API key you just created. Copy it and use it in the Authorization header of your API requests.
6. Remember to keep your API key secret and stored in a secure location. You will not be able to see it again once you leave the page. You have to create a new API key if you lose it.

All API endpoints are authenticated using Bearer tokens included in the Authorization header of your API requests. The format is "Bearer YOUR\_API\_KEY"

```
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```
