Every request to the Bunny Stream HTTP API is authenticated with a per-library Stream API key. This guide walks through where to find that key in the dashboard so you can start uploading and managing videos programmatically. ## What you'll need Before you dive in, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place: * A [bunny.net](https://bunny.net/) account ([Log in](https://dash.bunny.net/auth/login?pk_buttonlocation=menu) or sign up for a [free trial](https://dash.bunny.net/auth/register)). * A video library already created. It can be done **via Website** (Follow "Step 1" in the [Stream Quickstart](/stream/quickstart) to create a video library. An incorrect library ID will result in upload failure) or **via API** (use the "Add Video Library" HTTP call explained in the [Stream API Reference](/api-reference/stream) guide). ## Obtaining your stream API Key To obtain your stream API key, follow the steps below: 1. Go to the **Stream** section and select your video library. 2. Click on the **API** section and here you can copy your Stream API key.
