# 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.&#x20;

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.
{% endhint %}
