Where do I sign up to use the API?

Where do I get the API keys?

You can access API Console for managing your API Keys. You must use the latest version - v3 access keys.

You can create a new API v3 key from your API Console. If you need to get the API v3 key directly from your code, we've also created an endpoint in the API v2 which will create and return an API v3 key.

curl -H 'api-key:yourApiV2Key' -X POST -d '{"name":"My v3 key name"}' 'https://api.brevo.com/v2.0/account/generateapiv3key'
