Updated this week

1. Go to the RapidAPI Website

2. Sign Up / Log In

  • If you don't have an account, click on Sign Up in the top-right corner of the page.

  • You can sign up using Google, GitHub, or your email. If you already have an account, just click Log In and enter your credentials.

3. Find an API

  • Once logged in, use the search bar at the top of the page to find the API you want to use.

  • For example, type in "weather" to see APIs related to weather data.

4. Subscribe to an API

  • Click on the API you are interested in. This will take you to the API documentation page.

  • Look for the Pricing tab and choose the plan that best fits your needs. Many APIs have a free tier for testing purposes.

  • Click Subscribe under the plan you want.

5. Get Your API Key

  • After subscribing to the API, you will see your API Key in the "Endpoints" tab of the API page.

  • The key will be listed under the "X-RapidAPI-Key" field in the request example. Copy this key for later use in your app or project.

6. Test the API (Optional)

  • You can test the API right from the RapidAPI platform by going to the Endpoints tab.

  • Choose an endpoint, fill in any required parameters, and hit the Test Endpoint button to see a response.

7. Use Your API Key

  • Now, you can integrate the API into your project by passing your X-RapidAPI-Key in the headers of your HTTP requests.

That's it! 🎉 You now have your RapidAPI key ready to use in your applications.
