# How to get my API key?

In order to use our APIs, you require:

* An ‘App ID’
* An ‘API Key’
* A 'Wallet ID'

​The App ID & API Key are needed to create a 'session' to get an 'accessToken'. The Wallet ID is required to make various requests such as placing/cancelling/viewing orders.

​

​

### Step-by-step process

1. From anywhere on BetDEX, click on your balance
2. Click on "API"

​

6. That's it! You will now be given your unique API key. **Please ensure you securely save & store the API key, as it cannot be retrieved again**.

​

​

### What if I lose my key, or if it's compromised?

​If you lose the key, or believe it compromised, you can deactivate it and generate a new one from scratch.

1. Go to [https://betdex.com/account?tab=api-key](https://betdex.com/account?tab=api-key)
2. Click on 'Deactivate API key' & 'Confirm'
3. Then click 'Generate new key' to get the new key

​

​

### Why is it asking me to verify account?

​You must have completed "Basic Verification" to sign up to trade via our API. You can do this by going to [https://betdex.com/account?tab=personal](https://betdex.com/account?tab=personal) and submitting your personal details.

​Once that is completed, head back to [https://betdex.com/account?tab=api-key](https://betdex.com/account?tab=api-key) (or simply click the "API" tab again) and you will be all set to generate the API key following the steps above.

​
