# Get started

> Generate API key and call Unsora API

Use this page to create your API key and make your first request.

## 1) Generate API key

1. Sign in to the Unsora dashboard.
2. Open **API** in the sidebar (`/api-keys`).
3. Click **New API Key**.
4. Copy the key immediately and store it in a password manager.

Keys look like `uns_live_...`.

## 2) Add key to request

Send the key in the `Authorization` header as a Bearer token. Try it on [Credits](/api-reference/user/credits) in the API playground (base URL from OpenAPI `servers`).

## 3) Verify auth

If the request returns `200`, your key is working.

## 4) Create a job

Most generation endpoints are async:

See [Create image](/api-reference/image-generations/create) for a full request URL and playground. Path:

`POST /image-generations/create`

Poll status until `COMPLETED` or `FAILED`:

* Images / influencer / thumbnails → [Poll generation status](/api-reference/image/poll-status) (`GET /image/status/:id`)
* Video (all models) → [Poll video status](/api-reference/video/poll-status) (`GET /video/status/:id`)
* Music → [Poll music status](/api-reference/music/poll-status) (`GET /music/status/:id`)

In the dashboard, open [Music generator](/guides/music-generator/overview) to create songs with lyrics and use the [global player](/guides/music-generator/playback) while you work in other tools.

Manage video jobs:

* [List video generations](/api-reference/video/list) (`GET /videos/all`)
* [Delete video generation](/api-reference/video/delete) (`DELETE /videos/:generationId`)

## Next steps

* Read [API guide](/api-guide) for rate limits, idempotency, and polling
* Browse endpoint reference below

## Security notes

* Never expose API keys in frontend code or public repos
* Rotate keys immediately if leaked
