# API Reference

This guide will help you get set up with the Nebula Block APIs.

## Getting Your API Key

API keys are automatically generated for each user upon account creation. You can view, renew, or revoke your API key in the Nebula Block user dashboard:

* **View/Renew API Key:** Log in to your [user dashboard](https://console.nebulablock.com/home) to view or renew your API key. If you renew your key, the old one will be invalidated.
* **Security Note:** Keep your API key secure. If you suspect it has been compromised, renew it immediately.

## Adding an SSH Key

To access GPU instances securely, you need to add your SSH public key:

* **Add SSH Key:** Log in to your [user dashboard](https://console.nebulablock.com/home) and navigate to the SSH Keys section to add or manage your SSH public keys.
* **API Management:** You can also use the [Create SSH Key](/overview/platform_api/create_ssh_key.md) endpoint to register your SSH public key with your account, or [List SSH Keys](/overview/platform_api/create_ssh_key/list_ssh_keys.md) and [Delete SSH Key](/overview/platform_api/create_ssh_key/delete_ssh_key.md) for management.
