# Settings

Source: https://env.7xmtools.com/api-docs/settings.html

Store your API access key to run the interactive examples on the endpoint pages directly against the live API.

## API access key

Your key is stored **only in this browser** (localStorage) and is sent exclusively to `api.keepa.com` when you run an example. It is never transmitted anywhere else. You can find and manage your key in your [Keepa API dashboard](https://env.7xmtools.com/api).

Saving verifies the key against the live API first. A key that does not verify is not stored.

> **Signed in to Keepa?** If you are signed in on [keepa.com](https://env.7xmtools.com/) in this browser and have opened the [API dashboard](https://env.7xmtools.com/api) at least once, the examples use your account’s key automatically — there is nothing to enter here. Saving a key below tells **this documentation site** to use that key instead — useful if you were given a key that does not belong to your own Keepa account. It is stored in this browser only and never changes the key on your Keepa account; to do that, use [Generate new key](https://env.7xmtools.com/api) in the API dashboard.

## Running examples

Endpoint pages show a **▸ Run** button on their example blocks. It executes the example request with your key and shows the live JSON response (or the generated chart for the Graph Image API), including the tokens consumed.

> **Note:** Each run consumes tokens according to the endpoint's token cost. The Run button is only offered for read-only requests — examples that create or delete state (e.g. the [Tracking API](https://env.7xmtools.com/api-docs/tracking.html)) are excluded on purpose.
