# API Usage
|
|
|
|
## Connecting to the API
|
|
|
|
To make life easier, the [UK API client libraries](https://www.notifications.service.gov.uk/documentation) are compatible with Notify.
|
|
|
|
For a usage example, see [our Python demo](https://github.com/GSA/notify-python-demo).
|
|
|
|
An API key can be created at https://notifications-admin.app.cloud.gov/services/YOUR_SERVICE_ID/api/keys. However, in order to successfully send messages, you will need to receive a secret header token from the Notify team.

## Using OpenAPI documentation
|
|
|
|
### Retrieving a bearer token for use
|
|
|
|
On a mac, run
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
flask command create-admin-jwt | tail -n 1 | pbcopy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to copy a token usable by the admin UI to your pasteboard. This token will expire in 30 seconds
