# How to create API credentials

Understand how to set your API credentials on the Digibee Integration Platform.

Follow these steps to generate an API Key to access API metrics:

1. On the **Digibee APIs** menu go to **Credentials**.
2. Click **+Create** on the **API Credentials** page.
3. Enter **Username**, **Password** and click **Save credentials**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Plataform adds the realm name to your username after you save it as default.
{% endhint %}

4. An API Key will be generated and will be grayed out.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please copy and save your API Key securely by clicking the copy icon. If you lose it, a new API Key must be created.
{% endhint %}

5. Click **Close**.
6. API metrics is selected by default.
7. When you finish the process, your custom URL will be displayed on the API credentials page. Copy and save it to use it later.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.digibee.com/documentation/platform-administration/digibee-apis/how-to-create-api-credentials.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
