# Quick Start

## Create your first Noty project:

After registering and logging in to Noty, we take you to onboarding to create your first project. When you finish onboarding, you will be directed to the main screen of your project. On this screen, you can access your API key.

If you need to find your API Key later, click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the project screen and go to Project settings. Here you can see your API Key; if there is a security problem, you can regenerate it.
