## Get your organization ID Once logged in, open the user dropdown at the top right. Your Organization ID is listed there. Copy it for use in your code or environment variables.

## Create an API key The API keypair is used to authenticate requests to Turnkey. We'll create one now.

For this guide, we'll use the in-browser method.

Optionally, you may also generate keys using the [Turnkey CLI](/sdks/cli).

You'll be prompted to authenticate with the authenticator setup during account creation. Save the private key in a secure location — **it won't be visible after this step**. **Important**: Both the public and private keys are required for signing requests to the Turnkey API. Keep these keys secure and out of reach of end-users.

## Next steps Now that you've created an organization and API keypair, you're ready to start developing with Turnkey! Build embedded wallets with Turnkey Automate signing with Turnkey
