In order to get access to the API, you'll need to [log into](http://topazlabs.com/account) your Topaz Labs account and create your unique API key. If you don't have an account, please follow the link [here](https://topazlabs.com/wp-login.php?action=register) to register.

1. Log into your Topaz Labs account from our [website](https://topazlabs.com/my-account/)
2. Navigate to the **API Keys** section in your account portal, enter a name, and click **Create**
3. Copy your API key (displayed at the top of the screen) and store it in a safe place

{% hint style="warning" %}
You may only view your API key on creation, so please be sure to copy the key as it will no longer be visible to you once you exit the page. If you lose your key, you may log into your account portal to manage your existing keys and generate new ones.
