#### How to create an API key

1. Log in to [forms.app](https://forms.app).
2. Click your avatar in the top-right corner and open **Account Settings**.
3. Go to the **API Keys** tab.
4. Click **Create API Key**, enter a descriptive name, and confirm.
5. Copy the generated key immediately — it is shown **only once**.
6. Store it securely (e.g. in an environment variable or secret manager).


> You can create multiple keys (one per integration), and revoke any of them at any time
from the same **API Keys** settings page.


> **Newly created or re-activated keys:** for up to ~30 seconds, a key whose validation
recently failed may keep returning `401 Unauthorized` from a short-lived cache. If a key
you just created or re-activated is rejected, wait ~30 seconds and retry.
