# How to create a new API key


## Steps to take to generate a new API key for your domains

By establishing an API connection between your CRM and Clym, you can easily integrate your customer and merchant domains into your Partner Portal account, and automate your domain management. Rather than needing to make changes through an import or one-by-one, an API can help keep track of changes in real time.

**Please note that Clym generates the API Key, but to complete further steps, you'll need to access your CRM platform to finish the setup process.**

Generating an API Key is an easy 3-step process:

* [Sign in to the Partner Portal](#3-1-sign-in-to-the-partner-portal)
* [Access API Keys](#3-2-access-api-keys)
* [Add API Key](#3-3-add-api-key)

### 1. Sign in to the Partner Portal

You should have received a magic link in your initial onboarding email. Please click **Sign in** from the email to get started. Alternatively, navigate to the [Partner Portal](http://partners.clym.io/) to sign in.

**If you do not see the API Keys section in your Partner Portal account, please contact your customer success manager to enable it for you.**

### 3. Add API key

In the pop-up window, fill in any **IP restrictions** and **expiration date** (optional). Click **Add API Key**.
