<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an API key">
    * After logging in, open API Keys from the left sidebar.
    * Enter a name for your API key (for example: `Production API Key` )
    * Then click 'Add API key'.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy and store your API key">
    * The API key is shown once. Copy it immediately and store it somewhere safe. If it's lost, a new one will need to be created.
    * Your key will look similar to this: `wk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx`

    <Warning>
      Never share your API key publicly or commit it to source control.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make your first API request">
    Try company search endpoint to start with. Make sure to replace YOUR\_API\_KEY with the actual API key in the code snippets below.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```text cURL theme={null}
      curl -G "https://api.akta.pro/api/v1/company/search/?query=canva" \
        -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
      ```

      ```text Python theme={null}
      import requests

      url = "https://api.akta.pro/api/v1/company/search/"
      headers = {"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"}
      params = {"query": "canva"}

      response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=params)
      data = response.json()

      for company in data["data"]:
          print(company["name"], company["website"])
          print(company["company_status"], company["product_category"])
          print()
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
