# How to get your Dialpad API Key: Step-by-step guide
------
_April 24, 2023_


Dialpad supports authentication with an API Key. To connect, you'll need to generate an secure API Key from your account settings.

This short guide shows you how to generate one, whether you're testing in your sandbox or helping customers connect their Dialpad account.

To create and access your API key, you need to follow the below steps. Note that only Company Admins can create API keys on Dialpad.

1. Navigate to Admin Settings > My Company > Authentication > API Keys
2. Select **Add Key**
3. Name your key and set the expiration terms
4. Select desired **Additional Scopes**
5. Select **Save**

Note: API keys can only be created by Dialpad customers on the Pro and Enterprise plans, and you must be a Company Admin to create and access an API key.


You've now retrieved your Dialpad API Key. That's one system covered, but scaling integrations one by one means repeating this process hundreds of times.
