# How to obtain an API Key

{% hint style="info" %}
You can start developing templates and integrate RecMan with the **demo mode** if you don't have access to RecMan API key at the moment.
{% endhint %}

To obtain a RecMan API key you will need to have an account in RecMan with privilege to generate API keys. Then you can visit this page to generate an API key:

<https://app.recman.no/user/api.settings.php>

The API key should only be set with an access to **SELECT** data for the modules "**Job postings**", with an optional "**Departments**" and "**Corporations**".

For security reasons the API key should **not** have any other permissions.

You can call RecMan support if you need help to generate an API key with the correct permissions, as described in this article.&#x20;
