   2. Click on your name in the top right corner.

   5. Copy the API Key associated with Default application.

      1. There is currently a bug preventing api key containing non alpanumeric characters from being used.
         If your Default api key contain for example a /, try to delete the api key and regenerate one that is not containing "/" and is named Default.
         We are working on the issue to update the build system so that it properly escape "/" and also get in touch with Midas team so that api key containing just number and letter are generated.
