To configure the API, first assign a name to the API key for identification purposes. The subsequent fields, "API Key" and "API URL," should contain the generated key and the URL where the API is accessible.

Afterwards you will have the options to specify what kind of access to grant the API key.&#x20;

When you are done with the configurations you can click the "Save"-button in the bottom right to save and generate the key.

## Example of API configurations

In the example below you will see the API key generated, which is needed in order to access the API endpoints. The name of the API key is to clarify that it is made for testing.
