2. Generate an API key:

b, Click on "Create API Key" in the top right corner.

c, Give your API key a name, choose "Full Access"  and click "Create & View".

d, Copy the generated API key to a safe location, as you won't be able to access it again.

 

If you wish to perform email validation, add the required permissions - Reporting (read access) and Validation (full access).
