Your API key will be generated with a unique API ID and the API key. Copy and use your newly created API key to authenticate with the Unitlab.

**Tips:**

* Keep your API keys secret. Do not share them with anyone else.
* Create a new API key if you need to revoke access to your Unitlab account.

**Additional information:**

* API keys are used to authenticate with the Unitlab API.
* API keys can be used to access all of the Unitlab API endpoints, including the CLI and Python SDK.
* API keys can be revoked by deleting or disabling them at any time.
