# How can I get my API key?

To use the Dynamic Mockups API, you'll first need to create the **API Key** on your account and obtain your unique API key. Use that API Key as the **x-api-key** header in each API call.

Here's how to do it:

1. **Sign Up** or **Login** by visiting [app.dynamicmockups.com](https://app.dynamicmockups.com/)
2. Go to the [API Dashboard](https://app.dynamicmockups.com/dashboard-api) on your account.
3. Create the API key by clicking on the **Create new API key** button.
4. **Copy** the API Key once created.
5. Use it as the **x-api-key** header in each API call.

Keep in mind that your API key is tied to your account and should be kept secret. It should not be shared publicly or with others.

If you believe your API key has been compromised, you should [contact our support ](https://docs.dynamicmockups.com/getting-started/how-can-i-get-support)for assistance​.
