Great question and it's incredibly easy! You can get started by visiting the [API Keys](https://dashboard.paynow.gg/api-keys) page located on your dashboard and complete the following:

1. Click on **New API Key**
2. Give it a name and assign a role

After creating the API key, you'll see your token along with details such as resetting it if needed, along with when the token was last modified.
