title: Create a 0x API Key
description: >-
Set up an account on the [0x Dashboard](https://dashboard.0x.org/apps), get an
API key, manage your apps, tap into more developer resources.
-------------------------------------------------------------

## 1. Create a 0x Account

To create an account on the [0x Dashboard](https://dashboard.0x.org/apps), click **Sign Up**, enter your name, email address and password, and click **Continue**

![0x Dashboard Sign-up](https://files.buildwithfern.com/0x.docs.buildwithfern.com/dcbe40cb255e4b079a3542cf60a1e1d5fad33f1e53960603fa08772fc6a4bdba/docs/assets/img/introduction/0x-dashboard-sign-up.png)

## 2. Create a Team

Once verified, you'll be prompted to create a team on 0x. Decide on a team name and select the type of project you are building. You can share this account with your teammates.

## 3. Tour the Dashboard

### 3.1 Create an App

Click **Create an app** to get a live API key that has access to multiple 0x products.

![0x Dashboard Create App](https://files.buildwithfern.com/0x.docs.buildwithfern.com/0f0bdb7b4feb654698951b07cb3f46657c13e78985e8f813a17b4a90f71e7362/docs/assets/img/introduction/0x-dashboard-create-an-app.png)

From the pop-up, enter your app's name and which 0x products (Swap API and Gasless API) should be enabled for this API key, then click **Continue**.

<Note>
  You can still update which 0x products this key can access even after the app
  is created.
</Note>

### 3.2 Reveal Your API Key

This key is unique and tied to your app. **Do not share it**. You can also create additional API keys for the app if you need them.

Your API keys will allow you to authenticate requests on 0x. Remember to specify the key in your requests via the `0x-api-key` header parameter:

You can always find your API key again by selecting the desired App in the dashboard and revealing the API key.

### 3.3 Make Your First 0x API Call

Run this curl request to see a live quote response for selling 100,000 WETH to buy DAI on Ethereum Mainnet:

```bash
// Sell 100,000 WETH for DAI
// Taker address is vitalik.eth
// Replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with your actual API key from https://dashboard.0x.org/create-account
curl --request GET \
  --url "https://api.0x.org/swap/permit2/quote?sellAmount=100000000000000000000000&taker=0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045&chainId=1&sellToken=0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2&buyToken=0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f" \
  --header "0x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --header "0x-version: v2"
```

You will receive a response that looks like this:
