Step 3: Enter Label for API key and check the right permissions. (Note: IP whitelist is not needed for beta testing, should be left empty) and click confirm.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Don’t use ‘127.0.0.1’ IP as this is only used as an example here. Real IP would be mentioned in docs in the future. (leave that field empty for now)
{% endhint %}
