# apiKey

> API key for your targeted application.

* **Type**: `string`
* **Required**

If you don't provide an API key yourself,
the Crawler creates a new one when creating a configuration.

The API key must have the following permissions:

* `addObject`
* `browse`
* `deleteIndex`
* `deleteObject`
* `editSettings`
* `listIndexes`
* `search`
* `settings`

The API key must also have access to all indices with the same `indexPrefix`.
For example, if the prefix is `crawler_`, the API key must have access to `crawler_*`.

<Warning>
  Don't use your Admin API key.
</Warning>

## Examples

```js JavaScript icon=code theme={"system"}
{
  apiKey: "33758f9a4be7766e94bf8800aad345900",
}
