Hi @Mengistu,

You can create and manage your API keys by visiting [https://develop.purpleair.com/](https://develop.purpleair.com/). More information on using the dashboard is available here: [New API Online Dashboard](https://community.purpleair.com/t/new-api-online-dashboard/3981).

If you know the email address you originally got your API keys with, we can also check our database for them. To do so, send an email to [contact@purpleair.com](mailto:contact@purpleair.com) with the email address you originally used.
