After pressing `Save`, a button will appear that when clicked will take you to create your API keys.

## Creating an API Key

On the `API Keys` page of the Developer section, you will be presented with your `App ID`. This is used in the headers sent to the Upzelo API.

Get started by clicking `Create an API Key`. Enter a name for your API Key and select the appropriate permissions for the key.

Once you have created your API Key, head over to the [API Documentation](https://upzelo.com/api/docs) to get started implementing Upzelo with your system.
