🔑Getting Your API Key

Your API key is essential for accessing the developer wallet for your project, as well as updating NFT metadata and properties.

Log in to the developer dashboard and select your project to obtain your API key.

API key section in the developer dashboard

Pass your API key via the REST API via the query parameters as "apiKey" or via the request headers as "ALTURA_API_KEY". Here's an example of how you can use it:

• Query parameters: ?apiKey=XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX

• Request headers: ALTURA_API_KEY: XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX

It is important to note that all project members have access to the API key and can regenerate it. Additionally, the old key is invalidated if an API key is regenerated. You should keep your API key safe and secure to ensure the integrity of your project's NFTs and developer wallet.

The Altura API is free to use and currently has no rate limit, meaning you can use it as much as you want without worrying about additional costs.
