# Authentication

Before starting the integration process, you must generate an API key. This key is necessary for registering your game and managing its details in the next step. 

To generate your API key, [click here](https://dev.hastearcade.com/api-key) and connect your Yours Wallet. Once your wallet is successfully connected, your API key and developer account will be created, allowing you to manage multiple games under one account.

{% hint style="info" %}
Keep your API key safe and do not share it with anyone.
