  3. Select Developer: Within the Settings menu, look for an option called “Developer” or “Developer Settings.” Click on it.
  4. API Access: In the Developer section, you should find a link or tab related to “API Access” or “API.” Click on it to access your API settings.
  5. Generate API Key: Look for a section where you can generate an API key. If you haven’t generated one before, you may need to create a new API key. Follow the instructions to generate the key.
