# Obtaining an API key

myHealthbox API is distributed by RapidAPI and can be found here. In order to access and use it, you need to obtain an API key to configure the SDK with.

Please keep in mind that myHealthbox is a Freemium API, which means it offers a free usage quota, but also has some paid plans. You can view them below:

Type	Basic $0.00/mo	Pro $50.00/mo	Ultra $100.00/mo	Mega $1000.00/mo
Search requests	50 per month + ($0.015 each other)	5,500 per month + ($0.01 each other)	12,000 per month + ($0.01 each other)	150,000 per month + ($0.01 each other)
Product requests	25 per month + ($0.025 each other)	2,750 per month + ($0.02 each other)	6,000 per month + ($0.02 each other)	75,000 per month + ($0.01 each other)
Document requests	10 per month + ($0.055 each other)	1,100 per month + ($0.05 each other)	2,400 per month + ($0.05 each other)	25,000 per month + ($0.02 each other)

In order to obtain an API key, you need to sign up for RapidAPI. After you've done that, you can navigate to your developer dashboard. In the sidebar, create a new app using the Add New App button or use the default one that RapidAPI generated for you when you signed up. In both cases, you need to expand the app you are going to use, and click on Security. Your key will be there!

If a key was not auto-generated for you, you can create one yourself using the Add New Key button.
