Now that we've learned what APIs are and made sure it's safe to provide them, it's time to learn exactly how to do it

The field for entering the API is located at the bottom of the window when registering an account

In order to get your API key we log into our Seller Portal on Takealot and go to the “API Integrations” section and then the “API Seller” subsection

❗Important! If you have previously connected your shop to other services, you need to use the existing API key. It looks like a long sequence of letters and numbers, as an example hu56764d565d4fjomio8...

In case your existing API key has been lost, you need to delete the existing one and generate a new one

Then, copy it and paste it into the registration form field
