# Getting started

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that the Storedat API is currently in Beta and at this time it is not recommended to be used in a production environment
{% endhint %}

### Get your API key

Certain queries are only accessible via an API key and client-id (see the [Basics section ](/reference/api-reference/basics.md)in the API Reference) but there are those that can be used without credentials (See [Public API Access](/reference/api-reference/basics.md#public-api-access)). Any request through a API Key gated endpoint that doesn't include the necessary credentials will return an error.
