From the API docs to your account panel and back: the API page, keys and support

The short answer: the documentation explains; Meu Interweb is where you act. API keys are created, listed and revoked on the API page in Meu Interweb, which is also where you do everything the API does not do yet. The two are linked both ways.

What you do where

You want to... Where
Understand how an operation works In the documentation.
Create, see or revoke a key In Meu Interweb, on the API page.
Try a request In the documentation Playground.
Do a task the API does not cover yet In Meu Interweb, as usual.
Get help In the Knowledge Base or through a support ticket in Meu Interweb.

From the documentation to Meu Interweb

1 The top menu of the documentation has a link to Meu Interweb.
2 On the Get started with the API and Authentication and keys pages, the "API" link opens the key page in Meu Interweb directly. If you are not signed in, it asks you to sign in first and then carries on to that page.
3 The Account and security page reminds you that changes to your account details are still made in Meu Interweb.

From Meu Interweb and the website to the documentation

The API page on the website has a button that opens the documentation, and Knowledge Base articles about the API, like this one, link to the right pages.

Creating your first key, in short

1 Sign in to Meu Interweb and open the API page.
2 Name the key and choose the mode: Sandbox, to start with.
3 Choose the permissions and the validity.
4 Confirm with your password and the code you receive by email.
5 Copy the key: it is shown only this once.

The details of each choice are in Authentication and keys.

Do not send your key in a support ticket, an email or a chat. To find one of your requests, the X-Correlation-ID that comes with every API response is enough.
