Getting an API Key

To make API requests, you'll first need to get an API key from the CryptoPayments admin panel. This key helps authenticate your application and ensures it has the right permissions to access specific resources.

For instructions on setting up and testing in a simulated environment without affecting live data, refer to Testing Environment Setup.
