# Generate your web service key

*The REST API is available to all [Enterprise](https://www.mozenda.com/pricing) and [Professional](https://www.mozenda.com/pricing) customers.*

          
          

To generate an API web service key, the user generating it must have **Account Administrator** or **Department Administrator** [permissions](/vl/docs/user-permissions).

1. Open the *Web Console*.
2. Click the **user icon** ![z icon account_settings lac 05202021.png](https://cdn.document360.io/03076343-9561-4857-8a4e-9f3bfed20ced/Images/Documentation/z%20icon%20account_settings%20lac%2005202021%282%29.png)
3. Click **Account Settings**.
4. Click **Summary** > **Users**.
5. Select the **user** you would like to create an *API* key for. Select the *hyperlinked email* and a popup with user settings should display.
6. Select the **API** tab.
7. Select **GENERATE A NEW WEB SERVICE KEY** or copy the **key** if it is already present. Before exiting the dialog box, make sure to select **SAVE**.

          Store your web service key

          

Make sure to copy the **key** and store it somewhere you can easily access it again - something like *LastPass* works great.
