# API Key

This token allows you to make requests to Public API.

{% hint style="success" %}
**To get the API Key, create a project here:** [**console.tonplay.io**](https://console.tonplay.io)
{% endhint %}

Copy the **API Key** from the dashboard, and use it to authenticate with our APIs. Creating an API call is just a standard HTTP request. 

There is an example: `7bWjvqHRnI:OE2LaGJQbci300afrzbR`

In Public API, use **API Key** as a header value of **X-Auth-Tonplay.**

### Game Key

In API requests, there could also be required the `GameKey` which is a **short form** of API Key.

There is an example: `7bWjvqHRnI`
