# Getting Started

Our API service is only available to a special type of account. To have access to our API, create a [business account](/idrx-account/business-account.md) or contact us via [email](mailto:support@idrx.co). Once we verified your request, a menu called **API Key** will appear on your dashboard.

To use the API, you will need to first generate an API key. To do so, click the **API Key** menu and click the **Generate API Key** button.
